Would you eat a Rook?

Lopez · 06-06-2007, 22:07

Saw the F-Word last night where he went shooting Rook, which was then cooked and eaten. I asked Kate if we could have a Rook, and apart from not knowing where to get one she didn't seem overly taken with the idea, although I think most of that was because she "couldn't be arsed to peel it" (her words

)

So would you eat Rook? I bloody well would, can't kill you can it? And do you think any type of Crow would do? There are lots of Jays and Carrion Crows round here but not seen many Rooks.

Yeah why not? Can only taste like chicken anyhoo..

When I was watching that I couldn't help thinking like father like son lol.

I'd eat a rook soon as look at it. Bit scrawny, but most likely delicious.

I've had partridge and pigeon before - though not London pigeons don't worry!

Can be a bit bland IMO, and there isn't much meat on the them - however it can be tasty once you get past all the bones.

I'd try it but then I'll try most things.

Bones was the annoying thing when I tried Thumper stew but the meat was tender and taste enough

Why not

I see no reason not to tuck in.

I'd give it a go. I have had pheasant in the past, but you had to mind the bits of shot that was still in it

There was a program a while back where they made this uber xmas dinner which consisted of one big turkey filled with layers of other birds, which was then slow roasted. It looked really really good, I think it was a receipe from the middle ages

They were going on about horse meat the other week. Next time i'm over in France i'll see if the restaurant is doing it.

Yeah I saw that, I think it was Hugh Fearnley-Dunkingstool's Offal Cottage or whatever his program is. Looked bloody good.
