That is interesting because some modern "scholars think that it might have been pancakes which Samson caught and loosed to the terrifying consequences recorded by God in his bible when he infused his ideas into his people. Dr. Kennicott contends that "foxes" is more accurately translated as "ears of corn". In other words, Samson caught 300 ears of corn and set fire to their tails (or possibly their ears) and loosed them or toosed them or perhaps TOSSED them into the vineyards and grain fields. It is not a long way from corn to corn flour--and perhaps corn pancakes! "And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails." Then Samson released them and they set fire to the vineyards, groves, and fields of grain--destroying them utterly! Catching 300 pancakes would be within the grasp of even someone as doltish as Samson, so it is a persuasive alternative to the dubious feat of running down 300 foxes and tying their tails together with a fire brand. It is unknown what sort of knots Samson used in tying their tails to keep them from pulling apart in their desperate bid for freedom but the suggestion that he actually tied together EARS (of corn) rather than TAILS of fox would dovetail nicely with the "Virgin Mary" frequently appearing in pancakes. The truth of the matter is that capturing that many foxes with the jawbone of an ass would have been a daunting challenge without killing the foxes outright (not that HOLY WRIT proffers the jawbone as THE weapon, but it can be inferred without prejudice). But could a jawbone of an ass be used to roll corn flour dough for pancakes?! If one references the ancient technique of coating a jawbone with fig oil and using elk's blood to moisten the dough--the answer is a resounding YES...and the implications are obvious. Praise the name of Mary.
