We know crab was served, and we know Priscilla saved a plate of crab for JB, but we don't know that JonBenét ate anything, @ the Whites' house.

Again, semantics. No we don't even know that crab was served at the Whites. We know PW made a plate of leftover crab legs for JB, as that is what she had served on Christmas Eve, and she knew JB loved it. What she actually served all the guests is a little less clear. But unless Patsy was the worst mother on the planet (maybe she is?), JB certainly would have had something to eat at that party. whether it was crab or not doesn't really matter because whatever she ate was digested. If you are going to be of the opinion that the pineapple in her stomach was eaten prior to going to the Whites, you have to accept the fact that JB would not have eaten anything else on Christmas day besides Patsy's pancake breakfast. Like so much else in this case, you have to use common sense. Sure it is possible that the child ate the pineapple prior to going to the Whites, but what is the likelihood that she would have eaten nothing more, on Christmas day no less!
TT: Okay. So give me kind of a step by step, get to the Whites 5:30, 6:00, 6:30 whatever, what time did you have dinner that night? What did you do before dinner after dinner?
PR: Well, we had um, I think we had cocktails, kind of, she had some cracked crab left over from their Christmas even dinner and we sampled some of that and I remember she kind of, for some reason, made a little plate for JonBenet or I remember her making a special plate for JonBenet for some reason so she would have some crab. . .
TT: Okay.
PR: . . .cause my kids like seafood and uh, we nibble on that and I uh, we had dinner and I can’t remember what we had.
TT: Okay. Was it like a buffet, sit down, what kind of dinner was it?
PR: I just, I just, I don’t know. I can’t remember.
TT: Okay. Was it a formal plates around the table type. . .
PR: Well, we had, she usually puts up several tables in her living room. She had several tables in her living room, in her dining room. Just were, thee were a lot of us there and uh, we sat at the table, you know, she had a place for everybody.
TT: Okay.
PR: And uh, she had little gifts for the kids. They had these little paper jewelry things that JonBenet and Daphne got and um. Fleet and John were down on the floor helping them make those.
Terrible interrogation as it sounds like the let Patsy talk about whatever she wanted to, and let he be as vague as she wanted and change topic when she pleased. When asked if it was a sit down dinner, she doesn't remember. Then in the next breath she says there is a big table with a place for everybody, including the kids. So from this we can say that:
- crab was served as an appetizer with cocktails
- a plate of crab was saved for JB
- They all sat down together at a dinner table
Patsy the successfully changes topic, but it is only logical to assume that PW served dinner. It is also logical to assume that JB ate something as she was seated for dinner and any parents would have ensured that she at least ate something. If there had been any indication that JB didn't feel well enough to eat (as is sometimes the case with young kids), why didn't Patsy mention it?
ETA, this was Patsy's last meal with her daughter, and only 4 months later she doesn't remember it????
