Mmmm, . You don't know what you're missing, barbecued with a few boiled potatoes and some mustard with a fried egg on top. A quality bit of foraging. There's too many of the bloody things anyway, we need a bit of predation to keep the numbers down, and if it annoys her majesty all the better! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson mjackson74@... wrote: England: Queenâs Swan Is Barbecued and Eaten By STEVEN ERLANGER Published: August 21, 2013 The charred carcass of one of Queen Elizabethâs own swans was found on a riverbank near Windsor Castle after having been barbecued and eaten, according to the police and a charity called Swan Lifeline.

I recall my father-in-law talking about duck hunting in San Francisco Bay, years ago, and how when he got the ducks home and cooked one, it had a very fishy flavor, couldn't eat it. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ann awoelflebater@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, salyavin808 fintlewoodlewix@ wrote: Mmmm, .

Depends on the kind of duck - the ones I have had in Chinese restaurants have all been mighty tasty.

Hey, I draw the line at eating people.. I would imagine swan is awfully greasy like goose and duck. And whatever they're eating out of the Thames can't be good. I've never eaten any of them actually, but I was under the impression duck was a delicacy? A lot of them got stolen from our local pond, I saw a young Asian kid grabbing one and putting it under his coat once, he looked terrified when he saw me but I just laughed, I'd much prefer he got wild food than some poor creature that's been locked in a cage its whole life. Others disagreed and popular pressure made it too risky for people to take birds (or fish) so now there are so many geese that half of our once lovely park is covered in stinky bird shit and no one knows what to do about it. Shoot the bloody things I say. Or release some wolves, that might get your human population down too. Win win! BTW I think the Thames is a lot cleaner than it used to be, you get actual fish in it now! But the ducks are a sickly bunch coz they just eat the bread that people throw them, thinking they're doing them a favour. Poor little things. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson mjackson74@ wrote: England: Queenâs Swan Is Barbecued and Eaten By STEVEN ERLANGER Published: August 21, 2013 The charred carcass of one of Queen Elizabethâs own swans was found on a riverbank near Windsor Castle after having been barbecued and eaten, according to the police and a charity called Swan Lifeline.
