That "gamey" taste comes from the adrenaline pumped into the bloodstream
because the animal is frightened.

My favourite G.S. cookie is Thin Mints. I mis-typed in my previous. I
used "Lemon-Ups" rather than the icing coated "Lemonades". My least 
liked G.S. variety is Do-Si-Dos (P-nut butter sandwich). If I'm gonna 
do a peanut butter sandwich I'll use Ritz crackers.  Bv)=
