Young swan is very good ,kingfisher not so and badger ham was greasy but edible .Illegal supper 1990s . The 1940's cook book i have has all sorts in it from larks to seagull to swans to blackbirds,just about everything except fox,squirrel,rat and the other predators like stoats weasels otters etc..These things kept our country living ancestors alive and we all turn our noses up at it or folk who do eat it these days .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they kept em alive, don't mean they taste nice. The old polish block heads eat carp cos it's traditional, cos they don't have any coast line, yet show em a piece of cod and they will sell their own granny for it. There is a reason we don't eat certain stuff. If something was nice then even if it was protected we would poach it. If it hasn't been eaten since well after the second World War....then its shite....if your that hard up then message me, I'll lend you enough for a box of turkey twizzlers 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many years ago seagulls grazed along the seashore, mixed with days following the plough picking up tasty morsels of the fields.... .....now a days seagulls eat shite, proper shite, from the streets and land fill sites.... The same people who paid more for gull than steak probably believed women who floated were witches 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
