 ML> I suppose. But then she's not performing the role of

 GJ> It is still part of her job with the ABC.

Perhaps presenter or compere (commere) would be a more apt
description in this case.

 GJ> It is good to hear that kangaroo has become more widely available in
 GJ> America, in spite of the earlier, illogical ban PETA had going.
 ML> There was never a nationwide kangaroo meat ban in the US.
 ML> A glance at the Internet shows there was once such in California,

 ML> possibly one such in New York, long since gone.
 GJ> Thanks for that research, which verified my long-remembered fact that
 GJ> there was a ban, even though it was not quite nation-wide.

Not quite nationwide indeed, covering less than 20% of the
population and two states in a republic that consists of 50
and assorted other entities. Might one consider nootropics?

 GJ> criticising PETA, I thought it was a world-wide organisation, not just
 GJ> a USAn creation.

You couched it in terms inappropriate hostile to PETA,

 GJ> illogical ban PETA had going

in that given PETA's mission, such a ban would be perfectly logical.

But your formulation obviously misstates the function of PETA, which
can't actually have a ban going and can only connive at creating one
to be enacted by others. So your statement makes no sense unless
one metonymizes PETA into "those illogical legislations influenced
by PETA."

PETA is indeed a "USAn creation," and its major sphere of influence
is here.

 GJ> Remembering Hap's recently expressed craving for rabbit, how difficult
 GJ> is it for you to buy "game" types of meat, such as rabbit, goat,
 GJ> pheasant, wild pig, quail, pigeon, alligator, rattle-snake, venison,
 GJ> guinea pig, bear, seal, etc?

Availability in supermarkets or gourmet stores:
Yes, sometimes, sometimes, seldom, often, sometimes, often in the
southern states, never that I know of (though it has been available
canned in the past), sometimes, never, never, never, etc.

Fried Corn Meal Mush
