Aquatic birds, eh? Hmmm. Wonder if they were good to eat?

Maybe just the heads?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some aquatic birds can be a bit rank-tasting.

Went hunting with a Cajun once. He shot a bunch of coots (he called them, "pouldoo") and took them home for his wife to cook.

She cooked the breasts and legs for hours in a dark brown gravy with more onions than there was bird meat -- until the meat literally fell off the bones. She then picked off the meat, added it to the gravy and served it over rice.

The gravy and rice were quite good -- but the meat was still a little too strong-tasting for me...

My Cajun friend "seasoned" his gravy with lots of some clear stuff from a fruitjar; by the time the meal was over, he was enjoying everything... '-)

Tastes like chicken.
