    I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you’re European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that’s technically a dino meal too.

        LIVE BLACKBIRDS???

        Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

        Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

        When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

        Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?

        The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

        The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

        The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

        When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

        Moral of the story, don’t be a minor character in an 18th century nursery rhyme.

      I’ve always wondered about the blackbird pie thing. How did they get the birds into the pie? How many escaped during the pie-ing process? Were there originally a lot more than four-and-twenty? If they shit on any half-prepared food during the escape, was it thrown out or served to the cheap seats?

      As an American duck seems more available than goose. I’ve seen turduckens, I’ve never seen a Goosiken
