A childhood belief about nasty food

When we were younger My cousin and I went to the next town where a fair was going on. They had this really cool trailer where a man was sitting in there biting off the heads of snakes and bats. He had snake and bat bodies laying all over on the floor. My cousin and I went on to other things and then came back later to see the man again. All the body parts were cleaned up. When it was time to go home. Mom was in the house making supper, said we were having a special treat. We were called in for supper and lo and behold there on the plate were these little slices of perfectly round green fried snakes. We took off running saying we were not hungry. When we got back home Dad asked why we left in a hurry and we told him about the snakes and bats and then the supper Mom had made, and we WERE NOT EATING SNAKE. Dad laughed and told us it was zucchini. Well it looked pretty convincing to us! UGH!
