Tastes like Spotted Owl


I like mine grilled. How do you fix yours?

Of course if you mention this to an Englishman, they would likely not be surprised that Scotsmen eat pickled babies.

Like haggis.

Yes! a little like spotted owl, but I believe more of a cross between a bald eagle and a condor. But maybe you are right. I will have to keep tasting to get a true sense of the flavor.

Gorgeous. Though, if you live in a region where gannets are as plentiful as seagulls are by our shores, I can see why the Scots would also regard them as food.

How does it compare to the taste of sautéed baby panda in a rich clubbed baby Canadian harp seal cream sauce?

We can, but I'll have to get to it later.

Right now, I'm preparing a Red River giant softshell turtle for the pressure cooker.

I know that leaves only an estimated three of the species in the wild, but three's always been a lucky number for me.

But what will future generations do when they are deprived of seeing a ? Red River Giant Softshell Turtle?

Hell, I have never seen one and it has not bothered me one bit.
