I like tacos, they make for great snacks, great meals, perfect for football games and most importantly, my kids eat them! So what about the taco has the whole free world freaking out? It's kind of like sausage, sometimes you don't want to know what's in it. In this case that isn't beef, chicken or seafood, that's the king of beast! Who would want a lion taco? Well quite a few folks actually.

Bryan Mazon, the owner of Boca Tacos and Tequila, said Monday that his Tucson eatery has received "many threats" against the restaurant, family members, customers and vendors since he announced last week that he was taking prepaid orders for the exotic tacos.

I blame all the crazy eating shows on television. You know the ones where the guy eats flaming crickets in a gravy of kerosene? I think lions look fine roaming the prarie taking down Timon and Pumba, not on a flour tortilla with tomato and cheese.
