Conejo anyone?

Today for lunch I had orange-colored soup made of pureed potatoes and zucchini. Then came the meat course.

There were two chunks of meat with cooked peppers. I looked at it and tried to cut it, but failed. My host mother informed me it was probably better to eat it like finger food. I wondered what kind of meat it was and thought, maybe it's lamb. It tasted pretty good, but let's face it. I have no idea what lamb looks like.

My roommate must have been thinking the same thing because she asked what it was. Conejo was the reply. We were eating rabbit. Rabbit, people!

Then I realized the bent thing almost like a chicken wing was really too small to be from a lamb. And the bones reminded me of the squirrel that one of my brothers killed years ago, which my mom fried so we could try it. Rabbit tastes much better.
