ROCK CORNISH GAME HENS

   Not in OED.  I was surprised that the NEW YORK TIMES beat the WASHINGTON POST--with an ad for the "Maryland Market," no less.

BLUSHING BUNNY

   I've posted "Blushing Bunny" all the way to 1931.  It's supposed to be a regional dish, traced to New York State, but where?  Perhaps here's a clue.  Is "blushing bunny" in David Barnhart territory?

CRABMEAT NORFOLK

   This is a little late for this regional dish.  The NEW YORK TIMES is useless for a dish like this.
