Lawn Mower vs Grass Cutter

This is a Grass Cutter - not quite the same thing as a lawn mower. Elder Lynch snapped this photo yesterday when he was coming back from Ijebu-Ode, (Ih-jay-boh-day). She wasn't happy that he was snapping her picture. We have also seen them selling these delicacies by the side of the road. They refer to this as "bush meat". There are many different critters that are considered bush meat, but basically it is wild game. This rodent is as large as a big cat and is supposed to be quite delicious. The cost? She wanted 1000 Naira, which is less than $7.00. We pay more for a little chicken, but it's all cleaned and ready to cook. This guy is still all hairy, etc. No thanks, I'll stick with chicken. Look up Grass Cutter on Google. Someone says it's considered a delicacy?
