Crow
All right I need an honest input here on crows, as in eating them, types of preparation and if you have done it please share.
One reason from a humour perspective is;
June 9, 2009—In Lithuania, eating crow isn't an exercise in public humiliation, as the English idiom suggests. Here, crow is literally eaten, and says one connoisseur, "it increases sexual potency."
If you have a true and tried recipes please share...there might be more to this bird than we know

Or was the guy who told me that named Wang?

I don't have recipes but in another life we shot lots of crows. We put them in a burlap sack and dropped them off at the neighbour's. She was an elderly widow from some eastern european country. She cleaned them up and cooked them. Took all we could give her and acted like we had given her steaks.

Why not? They mostly eat grain around here. I'd assume you could used any recipe that you use for diver ducks. Chili, ginger, citrus fruits, etc.

I remember a story about a camp near Syncrude. the garbage bins behind the kitchen were always a magnet for crows and ravens. One afternoon, it was noticed that the crows around the bins were suspiciously absent. That evening, for supper, the main item on the menu was cornish hen....

Crow
In England they collect the chicks just after they've fledged and are still easy to catch under the nests. You have to understand how many crows they've got there though and I suspect a guy could get a whole years meat in a week if it was timed right. The little morsels are made into crow pie and suppose to be very good which I'm sure it is.

My grandpa used to hunt blackbirds and says they're good. I think the ditty about black birds in a pie actually is crows . I'd try it if someone else cooked it

Google Rook Pie,I think that's the species of Corvid used in this countryside dish.
Probably eat Crow chicks also.

Not in a pie.
But if you're talking Red Wing or Brewers, yes I have. They are not vultures all dressed up which is what a Crow really is.

I've not eaten crows, but wouldn't be afraid to try them.
I have eaten many starlings and sparrows. I hhad Italian friends and when we would shoot migrating starlings in Aug/sept/ we would take them to a buddy's place. His wife put out the call to friends and while we drank home made wine and told lies the women picket and cleaned a few hundred birds.
The birds were wrapped in bacon, seasoned with Olive oil, garlic and spices and cooked on the BBQ.
Wondrous!!

I realize people & cultures have different tastes. But crow, magpie, gopher, badger, snipe, coot is all just taboo on my table. I will take a rack of baby back ribs or a low & slow brisket instead.

Wild pigs are the smelliest and nastiest creatures around, infected teeth, festering wounds etc. The only reason your baby back ribs don't gross you out is pigs are raised in captivity. I'm sure gopher is delicious and my mother in law says that badger is pretty good when a person is hungry enough

If someone surprises me with BBQ gopher, they'd better not be within arm's reach.
