:wave: In honor of crow hunting season in Arkansas (which runs until March 23), a recipe for how to eat crow (as opposed to the metaphorical crow we all eat on occasion).

12 crow breast fillets
black pepper
paprika
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1 10-1/2-ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 box chicken Rice-A-Roni

Season crow with pepper and paprika. Dredge in flour. Fry slowly in butter until golden brown. Remove crow and pour off half the drippings. Saute onion and green bell pepper in the same skillet until tender. Place crow fillets back in the skillet on top of the onion and pepper. Add wine and soup, cover and simmer 45 minutes. While this cooks, prepare the Rice-A-Roni according to package directions. Serve the mixture on a bed of Rice-A-Roni. Serves 3 to 6.
 
I've never tried crow but being from Louisiana and being cajun if it moves we eat it. LOL

Thanks for the recipe. I am sure I could use another bird in place of the crow.
 
I think they are a protected species here in Washington! :laughing: :laughing:

I would try substituting Seagull, which I hear tastes almost like spotted owl but with just a slight palate of seaweed and nose of organic garbage.

:crazytongue: :crazytongue:
 
No wonder you spent so much time in the hospital. God only knows where those crows have been and what they have eaten in this day and age! :laughing:
 
Ha! You all should be here in the Fall when the county-wide coon supper is presented. Yes, the rednecks down here eat raccoon and are darned proud of it! Aack! However...you won't find me gnawing on coon anytime soon. :crazytongue:

:laughing: they eat coon in Louisiana also. When I go down there I always see a sign along the road saying fresh coon meat. No I won't eat that either.

I had a guy come out to work on my septic tank and there was a coon in one of the trees so he asked if he could have it. Sure enough he got his gun and shot him and took him home. So I asked him if that would pay for some of the work he had done on the septic tank.

I've eaten raccoon, it tastes too fishy. Tastes like cat food. Now bear, that is delicious! In Italy they have dishes that feature (teeny, grilled) songbirds-people pay big bucks for that stuff!

Well red...there's just no telling what you might eat. Bleck! :crazytongue: How do you know what cat food tastes like? Have you tried that as well? I hope I never get the opportunity to eat bear or tiny French songbirds. I hear pigeons are a delicacy...I think it's called "squab". Yes?
 
Speaking of 'coons:


Loren had a bunch of ducks that he was raising for Turkey day and Xmas feasts.

Big, mean 'coon came by and ate them all.

Revengful Loren shot and skinned 'coon.

'Coon spent time in hot oven.

Loren ate 'coon for Turkey Day.



The secret to 'coon is to boil them, with Juniper berries and fresh rosemary, before ya roast 'em! :whistle:

Pigeons taste like cornish game hen. Small cornish game hen. Bear tastes like the best roast beef ever. I guess I should say Raccoon tastes like cat food *smells*:)-cheap cat food, a that!
Juniper berries would certainly help get rid of that fishy raccoon flavor. Soaking the carcass in gin would probably help as well....drinking a lot of gin before eating it would probably help more!

woman after my own heart :laughing:


I'll stick with beef, chicken, pheasant and venison around here.

Unfortunatly we can't have quail. :cussing:

Yes squab is very popular in my countries. I personally think it takes extremely gamey and has little real meat on it to eat. It's one of those "oh, this is such an expensive dish!" type of atittude about squab.


crab brains are of course great. :headbang: :cheers:

Wolfie has two coonhounds that are willing to come and help with your problem! :headbang: Of course, they live a fat, lazy couch life here in New England, but they'll tree anything, including my neighbor! :headbang: :laughing:

I'll leave out the details about the poor squirrel that dared roam into the boys territory! :whistle: :cry:
 
Speaking of squirrel tasty little guys but kind of sparse on the meat. My mom used to eat squirrel brains fried.
