Swans

Seeing as we eat chicken, turkey and especially duck why don't we eat swan?

They look tasty and it would only take one good shot with a large rock and you could set up a barbacue at the local pitch and charge a tenner per burger.

Cause swans are wild vicious crazy creatures. You'd need to hunt them and they're faster than they look.

You could try domesticating them but I doubt it would work. I'm sure you could given enough time, but really you dont want to be farming stuff can/will attack you or easily fly away.

Not much fat on a swan. Very lean meat so not the tastiest.

Don't ask me how I know.

its true they will never be mass farmed but you would think a small number of places in ireland would offer it.

Strangest thing i have ever seen on an irish menu is crocodile. Would imagine its horrible and extremely tough and I would fancy my chances better when trying to capture a swan.

I don't see what people love about them, all I see is a big, white duck

Horrible, evil, monstrous creatures. They shouldn't be eaten, they should be exterminated.

Where's a Dalek when you need it?

endangered and endearing, and unlike humans they pick a partner and stick with them till the bitter end, what was the question.

humans, sure they know it all, have you ever spent time talking to a swan,(to hear their side of it) or is it you believe everything you read.

Posh people eat goose at Christmas, right? Would that not be similar to swan? (I'm poor so I can only guess).

Why are they illegal to hunt in the other 46 just out of interest? Is it just a remnant of ye old laws or is there a specific reason?

I bet they taste awful tbh.

oppenheimer1

Its a cultural thing, possibly a hangover from our ancient tales and the more recent royal prerogative (that killing them was a treasonable offence).

Its much the same as why we don't eat horse here.

yep it is the same bird, they change their look at certain times of the year, (a protection thing I think) I am poor to.

Swan stuffed with bunny rabbits and a side dish of puppy legs would be delish I'd say.
