Mine too, which is why I put that note.
I used to work for a different educational publisher (Nelson Thornes), and Pearson were one of our main competitors, until we were bought out by Oxford University Press.

I don't think they are using the word intercourse there in the sense you are thinking of
If they are, then the phrase "Social intercourse" above that takes on a whole new meaning

Tis should the book @Accy cyclist seeks out. I love that Bicycling has an etiquette section, I bet it doesn't discuss drafting a stranger or whether Roadies should ever acknowledge the presence of someone whose bike has flat bars.....

I haven't eaten rabbit in years. My mum used to buy rabbits occasionally from random ne'er-do-wells she'd meet when out walking the dog. Dead uns, obvs.
I don't mind rabbit stew but it does tend to have a lot of little bones.

I used to catch lots of rabbits and during the war years when we lived in the country they were a regular part of our diet. My father was brought up in a poaching tradition and knew how to catch pretty well anything edible in the wild. This information was passed on to me which has served me well.
My wife had poaching brothers and so was not put out by getting anything complete with fur, feathers or scales and dealt with such things very efficiently.

My uncle used to shoot rabbits on my dads farm, given them skinned to my Mum, who usually turned them into "potted meat". If we were posh we'd had called it pate
We also used to grow "Mangolds" are we called them for cattle fodder as an alternative to swedes and turnips. They are good for dairy cows as they have a high water content.

Of course "lover" in those days diod not normally mean somebody with whom you wree having carnal relations
that did not happen until marriage (officially anyhow), which is the final stage in The Lovers gude there.

Much like my own background although as my father was a butcher, he knew all the local farmers and we did it with their permission. I still love to see a hound in full flight but now couldn't bring myself to kill anything, which is strange given my background.
