She didn't disbelive it, just found it hard to believe, I suspect because they're cute and fluffy. You really have to look to find it in the supermarkets here, so no in-your-face evidence.

Plenty of people don't really believe Brits eat kidneys, liver and the like on a regular basis. When I was a kid I assumed it was an old wives' tale that the French ate horses, frogs and snails......

It's as easy to assume things that seem unlikely are old wives tales as it it to believe things that used to be true still are, especially when they happen in a different part of the world/don't happen in your part of the world.
