No, I don't mean taking heat from your boss at work, I mean actually eating crow meat. Anyone ever tried? I know some people who ate seagull and beaver, but not crow.

1. Lay the crow on it's back in front of you with it's head pointed to the right.

2. Take a finger and locate where the breast bone meets the upper abdomen.

3. With a sharp knife, make a cut across the crow (wing to wing) below the breast bone. Don't be concerned about cutting toodeep, no edible meat will be damaged with this cut.

4. Holding the birds feet with your left hand, place 2 or 3 fingers under the skin where the cut was made and pull in opposite directions. The skinless breast meat should now be exposed.

5. Take the knife again and separate each breast half away from the bone starting in the middle and working outward. You should end up with 2 lime sized pieces of crow breast. Discard the remains properly.
16 pieces of crow breast meat (no bones) (8 crows)
16 pieces of green pepper
16 cherry tomatoes
8 button mushrooms
8 ears of sweet corn
1 1/2 cups of Teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup melted butter
8 kabob skewers
Preparation
Cut each piece of crow in half and place in a covered bowl with the Teriyaki sauce over night. Clean and cut each ear of corn into 3 pieces. Cook in boiling salt water for 10 minutes. Alternately put corn (3 pieces), green peppers (3 pieces) and cherry tomatoes (3) along with 4 pieces of crow meat on each skewer. Use 1 mushroom to top each skewer. Brush with melted butter and place on preheated grill for about 4 minutes. Flip, butter again and place back on grill for another 4 minutes. Repeat one last time for a total of 12 minutes or until they appear done.

THEN TOSS INTO GARBAGE

a delicacy common on menus across the British Isles , on the menu it is Rook, more known to commoners as Crow,,,:sHa_sarcasticlol:

and given the choice, I'd rather roasted crow than raw fish:scared0018:

Crows, Ravens and magpies will eat things that even a coyote won't touch.

Varget is , uh, an acquired taste that many do not get accustomed to - that many never learn to appreciate .
That's why I suggest the ketchup instead!:thinking-006:

A friend of mine ate a crow, shot with shotgun (not roadkill). Not kidding. Said it was ok. All birds are edible, right? Whats life without eating weird stuff?

I don't find it unusaul that Brits would have to eat crow and call it a delicacy. Some of them think the French lost the war of independence in 1776.:)

We used to shoot a lot of crows prior to hunting season. we always took them to a Russian widow. She cleaned them up and ate them. She had lived her life pretty much in poverty so was she was very happy to have them.

I wouldn't hunt them for food, but wouldn't hesitate to eat one. I have eaten lots of pigeons, starlings and even sparrows. That's what happens when you hunt with an Italian. I doubt crow would be any different.

Come on rf read your books the french won that one lol. :) the reason the crow was eaten is .... one of the few species in the pest list so a commoner could hunt them ?? A raven would get one hung .

I'm not sure I understand the concept of having to have a raven to be hung.:thinking-006:

And just so I'm clear, are you saying that U.K hunting laws are just as restrictive and useless as their firearms regulations, or are you saying you've been waiting all day for me to post so you can pick my......oh crap, my keyboard ran out of ink.:)

Past tense Rf . Uk hunting laws are that restrictive its the fact that all game is owned ..so its a vicious circle . Cant say we ever shot more than hares and rabbits on family land . On a couple of ocasions got to chase phesant on HM land in the forces.

I remember hearing about Rook (type of crow) Pie back home in England.

It was made only with the fledgling birds in the springtime.I shot lots of them,never ate one though.

I don't care how much HP sauce or Varget you put on a Crow, I ain't eatin it.

Some things aren't meant to be eaten.
I've eaten Beaver , , , , no, not going to say it, and Squirrel, Blackbirds, Bear, and even Chickens feet, all good. But I wouldn't let a crow or any part of a crow near my lips, for any reason.

I'd rather eat worms then a crow.

Guys, just for the record, crows are the primary carrier of west nile. I wouldnt touch them with a 10 foot pole.
