When the subject gets to food, I usually ask 2 questions.
Question 1... Have you ever eaten horsemeat? The usual answer is emphatically NO! Of course not!
Question 2... How do you know?
I have learned that there is very little that I have not eaten. As a consequence I have a very broad palate.
Owl tastes more like an adult quail. The bigger the bird, the longer you have to slow cook it. Wrapped in parchment paper and packed in wet mud.
You toss it in the fire and wait until the mud has completely dried. The bird is freaking delicious!
Try it sometime.
