Neither do I, now we both have an excuse to re-read the book!...

A very healthy one lives on the grounds of the condo where I work.

In the morning, five armadillos had been laid out in the Henrys’ barn. Two-Tone and Preacher cleaned them, and Peyton had eaten armadillo for breakfast. She would have choked on it, except that it was tender and delicious and she was starving.

I see them often enough around Panama City.

Poor little armadillos...

A few pages on:

There was a plate on the kitchen table heaped with roasted meat. It looked like lamb. He [Randy] tasted it. It didn't taste like lamb. It didn't taste like anything he had ever tasted before, but it tasted wonderful. He thought of the crabs, and their value dwindled to hors d'ouevres.

Armadillo, not tasting like lamb, but wonderful...

Thanks. I honestly forgot the details. All I remembered was lamb and armadillo being discussed. Bad me.

Eh? You slightly misremembered a brief plot unrelated passage from an obscure book published in 1959 and you say ‘bad me’???

[lastchance]

You are right. Why should I blame all of me when it is my memory that was not up to task? Time for another performance review.

Better than mine, I didn’t remember armadillos or lamb!
