I wouldn't eat them mate. they eat some right rubbish, likely to taste awfull or possibly even be toxic depending on what they have eaten recently.

Rook Pie Ingredients

 

4 to 6 fledgling rooks*

1 pound (450 g) of beef chopped into one inch (2 cm) pieces

6 ounces (170 g) of butter

Salt

Pepper

Puff Pastry

 

*Fledgling rooks must be used - shot a few weeks after they have left the nest but before they fly. Older birds have a poor flavour.

 

Rook Pie Cooking Method

The rooks should be skinned and the backbones and insides removed. The rooks can then be cut into joints.

 

Season the joints and steak with salt and pepper and fry in hot butter until nicely browned.

 

Simmer the rook joints and beef in stock for two hours.

 

Remove the rook meat from the bones and retain the reduced stock for gravy.

 

Lay the steak and rook meat in a baking dish.

 

Cover the meat in hot melted butter and reduced stock.

 

Cover the baking dish with pastry.

 

Bake at 180 deg C (355 deg F) for 30 minutes.
