[Closed] where can i get a swan?

Careful with a live one, could break your arm an angry swan could...

Down the cut. Or buy a big goose.

Go abroad. Most of our swans (not Mute) are from overseas.

Ask the Queen. She wipes her bottom on their necks, the rest will still be perfectly edible.

I think it's illegal to kill a swan as they are property of the Queen. Or something like that...

i want to eat a swan

Are you Eastern European ?

I read a very worrying article in the Daily Mail a little while back 😐

could get a goose instead

are you a racist
really ernie, a worring article in the daily mail - imagine that

I've always wondered what it tastes like. I'm not sure if it's legal anywhere !?!?!?!?

Don't think you can get a swan as that's property of the Queen so not for ordinary people.

Get a goose or duck instead or like everyone else buy a chicken instead.

Come to Edinburgh... Heriot Watt uni has a colony of big angry swans, and every year without fail in the first term the rumour goes around that one of the <insert foreign nationality> students has killed one and eaten it. So nobody will ever suspect you.

It always seemed more plausible that the swans were eating students though, they were mental.

there's loads in the Exe at Exeter Quay, they'd never notice one missing. Bring some bread, they'll come over to be fed, then just bundle a tasty-looking one into your shopping bag.

I lived with some lads from hong kong who claimed that swan was their favourite meat of all time.

Then you will be hung, drawn and quartered.

I am sure it is only certain breeds of Swan you cannot burgerise. The rest are fair game. QI told me.

chewkw, be sure not to wear scarlet as it is a royal colour only to be worn by the crown and therefore also treasonous

I am sure it is only one particular breed of Swan you cannot burgerise

I've not had a rummage, but I suspect you might find something if you did.

You can't burgerise a swan; strictly speaking they don't even have a proper bumhole, do they ?

I said burgerise not buggerise.

There is always one....in this case one being a swan infatuated sex pest 8)

swan taste like goose i had a swan breast 2 days ago 🙂

Oh, so I'm the one asking about creeping up on swans in nothing but a suede jacket, am I ??! (dutty, DUTTY perv )

Go peddle your swan related filth elsewhere...maybe in that mag Reader's Swans or something.

Be going on about their long necks soon.....
😯

taka, given the choice would you go for swan or goose?

sorry, been out of the room 😳

do carry on

the quality of the meat on a swan is better than a goose and the taste of a poached bird is always better although if its on my land its mine so its not really poached

Bassspine speaks good sense.. where the blinkin 'eck did they all come from is what I want to know though.. a mass exodus from some biblical swan farm..?

There was only ever 3 or 4 hanging around when I used to frequent the clubs on the quay some 20 years ago.. the rest were ducks..

I was walking down that way a few weeks back and there were hundreds of the things.. did they emigrate from Dawlish..?

They have black swans in Dawlish incidentally.. which in my opinion have a far superior taste and texture.. especially in a Knorr Chicken Tonight Country French cook-in sauce...

I get mine in Tesco, right next to the eagle, opposite the otter kievs 🙂

ive considered that but always been a bit daunted by the size of a swan. cant just stuff it up your jumper can you

otter kievs 🙂 now your talking

Become a fellow of St John's College in Cambridge - they are the only people outside the royal family who are allowed to eat swans

Doesnt the Queen eat one on xmas day ?

yeh, that's the price they pay for being allowed to eat swans

It must be hard to ring their necks unless you have really long arms

Anyone noticed that Taka said he had eaten swan.

The name Taka doesn't sound English to me.

The Daily Wail must have been right after all!!!

that little girl has got loads, her mum should teach her to share

I reckon hunting the poacher(s) is more fun with bow.

😆

That little girl has just kept me up for the last three hours. You can have all her bloody swans if you want.

A mate of mine, who will always provide you with a rabbit or pheasant if you ask, reckons they taste best just before their feathers start changing from grey to white.

doesn't Aldi do swan?
