Yeah.  The breeder I mentioned earlier has occasionally done similar 
things with his lines of orange sweet bucks for the benefit of his 
deserving colleagues.

In that case, they were presented as "chips" analogous to potato chips 
(the "thin slice" supermarket style) with salt and/or other seasoning, 
not with sugar.  Went down very well with cold beer on a hot day. :-)


Cheers, Phred.
