True that !
A food shortage makes for desperate people,
especially in the cities where the population is compressed and is more dependent on a broken supply chain, and,
where there is no room for a home garden.
This results in scavenging for self and family survival and a desperate population,
and then the rules of society and civilization may no longer apply.
My grandfather (born 1915) often spoke of the family eating Robins during the depression... I wonder if the meat texture is similar to quail? Hmmm.

I used to hang out with a guy that did the mountain man thing, and the annual rendezvous that they organized. They were pretty hard-core. The only serious anachronism that they allowed was Coleman canoes. He used to brag about the woodpecker stew that he made.
Robins are migratory. I’d expect dark breast meat. White meat comes from seldom used muscles, like the breasts of gallinaceous ( chicken-like) birds. Texture is probably pretty consistent in birds. Taste is probably largely dependent on their diet.
Dairy farms that are not producing their own feed will go bankrupt in the tight margin between milk prices and increasing feed costs.

My Father was born in 1910, my mother 1918. I grew up a poor hillbilly, fishing, trapping, hunting.. That’s how we survived.
Wood stove to cook year round, carry buckets of water from the springhouse, and using an outhouse.
Been there done that.
Turn an old refrigerator into a smoker and you can make anything taste good. Muskrat, groundhog, raccoon, even garbage fish like carp.

Even if you had a home garden, some lazy SOB will steal from it after you have done the hard work.
Remember what happened to the Kulacs.
Hoover Hogs =Armadillos.
Carp from clean water isn’t bad. I smoked some because I was bow-fishing them.
See, stuff like that makes me wonder if the Deep State is involved.
Good for you, when I shopped for spaghetti stuff a couple days ago, I paid $7.00 for just over a pound of ground hamburger. Steaks of all kinds were way, way too expensive for my budget....
Another Matt Bracken prediction coming true, I’m afraid.
And remember, call conspiracy theories for what they are: spoilers.
I paid $7.00 for just over a pound of ground hamburger.
They’ve got grass-fed 85/15 hamburger for around $5 per pound.
I bought ground chuck $5.49/Lb and that’s the regular price
I could totally imagine some of the current drug-smuggling networks switching over to smuggling food and other supplies.
