What's for dinner?

A hunter kills a deer and brings it home. He decides to clean and serve the
venison for supper. He knows his kids are fussy eaters, and won't eat it if they
know what it is - so he does not tell them. His little boy keeps asking him,
"What's for supper?" "You'll see", says his dad. They start eating supper and
his daughter keeps asking what they're eating. "Ok," says her dad, "here's a
hint, its what your mother sometimes calls me." "We're eating asshole??", she
screams.

One time my mother served squab at a meal. When I asked what it was she told me it was "little chicken". That was fine, I loved chicken. If she told me I was actually eating young domestic pigeon, there is no way I would have eaten it.
