hawkfanz Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 As in frying on the back of a spade. Only thing I have heard of is not to eat rabbit near where Belladonna is growing as they can eat it and the toxin is in the meat. no as in burying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Essex Hunter Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 That does seem a little harsh TEH, she only said 'I heard' which means that it not scientific fact nor does it state that it is her opinion, merely that she heard. You may be an engineer, which I think is pretty cool, but I am sure there are some subjects that you aren't completely fulfilled with knowledge on, and you may say "I heard that...[insert thing you HEARD here]" which means that you don't necessarily believe this to be a fact or not, you merely are passing on something you have heard from someone else. You mentioned on another thread your age, and some of your posts have been a little grumpy with people, perhaps you are suffering a 'man-o-pause'. I heard that this is a real condition which affects all middle aged men... Plenty of subjects I am not converse with, however what I don't post on is hear say, as there are enough members to fill that role. I have noted your comment's in the second half of your post, and must thank you for that.... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 when i was very young in lived in a very small village....the older boys were paid by the farm workers to climb into the rookeries before the young rooks could fly and tether one of the birds legs to the nest....then when they were nice and fat and ready to fly ...they were "harvested" for food......... dont know anyone who has eaten crow tho !

rimfire4969 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have had brancher rook which was ok, but I would draw the line at an adult crow. A young one straight from the nest I guess would be ok but they do eat ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEH You are right though about the hear say TEH, info in the wrong hands is often dangerous and can cause further issues, and we do have plenty of hear say on here you are right (can think of a few notable examples for sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil w Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 As with most things it is all down to the cooking almost anything can be made to taste good if it is cooked properly after all people even eat bugs in parts of the world. Dat must ave bin full ave gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 If you are developing a head of steamy enthusiasm regarding the edible prospects of crow cuisine, before indulging your taste buds might I suggest a walk through your local park where you can observe the corvids picking through the plies of hot dogs #### in there enterprising search for the tasty morsels contained within the putrid mess! Oh, and rabbits eat their own #### don’t you know? Better than reading it I suppose! Did know rabbits practice copraphagia, they still taste good though. Getting used to "Have a go Essex" its interesting having my very own stalker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Breast is like tough beef more gamey had some cooked on an open fire 15+ years ago.... Would make a nice stew I recon. By now it should be tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Bit of a greasy feel in the mouth when you eat it, like undercooked pigeon breast. Not a bad taste just not one I'm particularly fond of. Mate tried magpie years ago said it was awful. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Brought a couple of crows back for the cats to eat - flippin' hard work to pluck and they have an odd odour. Even the cats wouldn't eat them, so I'm certainly not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoy1979 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Breast them, wrap in bacon and cook on a bed of mash to help keep them moist, I would say it is an acquired taste, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Whatever it is......Cook it well; I am recovering from salmonella after eating pink chicken at a posh restaurant nearby. Okay, I should not have eaten it, but I was so hungry after decorating all day. Eight days of squits and a weight loss of 16 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I think that the old song black birds in a pie refers to crows not little black birds. It refer's to Rooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 As in frying on the back of a spade. Yes, do that. After frying throw away the crow & eat the spade!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucey Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I to checked out the affect of Belladonna on the internet, my question was to how would you police the movement of rabbits in the proximity of the plant in question....in simple terms you cant, moreover they do not show symptoms from eating it. As regards passing over knowledge, both you and I advised on the spec of pressure vessel's for the op and it was good info, not here say..... Both of us are engineers and to that point we work on facts not fiction.....you don't test a 232 bar tank to the spec of a 300 bar tank on the advice of " I heard it was...." Just my little bit.... Many year ago I was on Belladonna Tablets given to me by a herbal remidy specialist, I have Tourettes Syndrome see and.. Yes they helped my ticks but unfortunatly no hallucinations for me. And before anybody says how do you sit still in a hide, I find that as soon as i'm 'out on the hunt' so to speak, my ticks just vanish! A bit off topic so appoligies for that.

Belladonna is an excellent drug for a number of conditions. When you get them as a medication the dose level is checked before they are prescribed.

Tedward Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Tried it once, for a challenge - breasted out and flash fried, tasted very similar to pigeon cooked in the same way. Have not repeated the exercise however, owing to my own deeply rooted prejudice, and the fact that the dog has stopped retrieving them! cheers, Tedward.
