    It tastes lovely actually. I had it abroad before. Apparently it was the chef's cygneture dish. The aromatic ugly duckling is suspiciously similar. This warrants further investigation.

    It tastes like a hefty jail sentence and a nice fine ;)

    Never seen swan being sold in shops, nor would I like to as it may promote poaching. I would probably try it if I was in another country.

    AFAIK swan is a protected species in Ireland. Australia too. England is kinda wierd though, thanks to some old law all swans are property of the monarch, so the only way to eat swan legally in England is to get invited to a royal dinner where swan happens to be served.

    Is it illegal to kill a swan without some sort of a licence? Will my TV licence cover it?

    If not, I'll grab one from the lake in Northwood and will report back in the morn.

    I heard that if it's cooked properly, it's swan hell of a meal.

    A lot like baby seal. Though not as tender. Best served with corn on the cob

    18 posts into a thread in AH about swans, and NO ONE has mentioned kissing a polish person to find out?

    Which is good. Because they don't eat swans. Or take our jobs. Or have hotter women.

    Sure they don't, I wonder where this story comes from?? Try asking a Polish person in Poland about them eating swans and observe shock horror outrage.

    I heard that if its very undercooked, its still tastes pretty all white.

    Tastes like Polish turkey or maybe it's Polish chicken, I always mix up swan and duck.

    The swan is the big white one that breaks childrens arms. Ducks talk funny and don't wear pants for some reason. (Unless they are swimming)
