It's not like chicken at all.

CountingCrows · 22-12-2008 02:58PM

They taste a bit like kittens

Fizman · 22-12-2008 02:58PM

It tastes like duck. Only bigger.

Gamier than chicken, tougher than goose. Kinda like pheasant.

Are you confusing tastes with looks ?

Ask the Queen of England.

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.

Unfortunately my sharp wit has evaded you, and you have indeed made my comment look utterly foolish.

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.

Mr. Presentable · 22-12-2008 03:17PM

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

MarkR · 22-12-2008 03:19PM

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.

Voodu Child · 22-12-2008 03:19PM

Tastes a lot better than hitchhiker thats for sure.

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.

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)
