Potted crow

 

6 crows

3 bacon slices

stuffing of your choice

1 diced carrot

1 diced onion

chopped parsley

hot water or stock

1/4 cup shortening

1/4 cup flour

buttered toast

 

 

Clean and dress crows; stuff and place them upright in stew-pan on the slices of bacon. Add the carrot, onion and a little parsley, and cover with boiling water or stock. Cover the pot and let simmer for 2-3 hours, or until tender, adding boiling water or stock when necessary. Make a sauce of the shortening and flour and 2 cups of the stock remaining in the pan.

6 Crows?

 

With the size of the crows near me this would feed a small army!!

 

No joke!! They are like something out of Jurrasic Park, a mutant strain or something

 

 

Keep us all informed on the outcome of this dish.......would love to know if the final product was tasty!!

I would never contemplate putting Crow in my mouth. No F*cking Way! They're not called the Carrion Crow for nothing, ye know? They eat Rotten Flesh ffs! Oh, I feel ill at just the thought of it!

 

Go on though; Give it a try. If ye survive, ye can tell us what terrible illness it's left ye with!

I tried rook pie when I was younger, went beating at a small farm shoot and the guy's mum cooked us all dinner, My dad didn't tell me what it was until I'd eaten it. From what I remember it was quite nice, although apparently it's only young rooks that are used (not as strong a flavour), once they hop away from the nest to build up wing muscles then they get pushed out of the tree with drey poles.

will this recipe work for emu?

Too much oil in emu- get a lot of fat floating once it cools a bit. They are so much nicer roasted- preferably in a ground oven with a bit of rosemary.
