Aha! Thanks for the information. Thought there must be a reason nobody'd
tried it.

I'm making my annoying pet human type this. Nobody's said what species
Leather Lungs Lester is. And why does Larry the Lung want Lester eaten, pray
tell? What's in it for Larry?

At any rate, I don't eat barbeque, particularly not barbeque cooked by
lungfish. They wrap everything in stinky kelp and they cook over volcanic
fumaroles belching out sulphur. And the brine! Feh! Besides, dining with
lungfish involves <shudder> going in the water and getting one's fur wet.
Nor would I eat clarinet players of any species. They probably taste the way
they sound.

Ssss,
