In a vegetarian cookbook I encountered the above term, but found no definition. While it sounds like the stuff of naughty limericks, I suspect its definition is less interesting. What is it???

It's what became of Pegasus. It's an abbreviation for "flying horse" meat.

Never realized religious plays and sausages had so much in common!

This reminds me of the old book, "Boners," which was Dr. Seuss's first book illustrating job, wherein some student was quoted as saying that Polonius was a mythical sausage. And maybe this is why when something seems farcical we say it's baloney - a corruption of bologna.

Now if you're the subject of a "shotgun wedding," are you force kin? Confused

It's probably some delicacy, but it sure sounds awful!
