Well then, there you go...
fried grackle, baked grackle, boiled grackle, steamed grackle, grilled grackle, grackle strips, popcorn grackle, grackle alfredo, grackle florentine, mexican grackle, grackle kabobs, grackle gumbo, barbecued grackle, grackle boudin, grackle mulligan... in a few weeks you wouldn't be able to find a grackle within a hundred miles.

[5K Qs]

Has anyone ever eaten a grackle? I mean with the right chef there might be a solution...

Aren't they an ingredient in Snap-Grackle-Pop Rice Krispies??

ah - I see you've been to Grackle House.
I prefer "all the way" with Chili AND Gravy.

I think I shall refrain from giving my opinion for at least a couple of weeks, or till people actually start talking openly about it. All I will say for now is I had an enjoyable evening out with wife and daughter.

People used to eat the thighs and bosoms of blackbirds, but I think that was starlings.

My grampa used to eat sparrows. His wicked step-mother fed the kids cod-heads.

They used to put them in pies Jer, but I understand you needed quite a lot of them

Even an holy heremite would need quite a few.
Interesting that you're supposed to chill or butcher them immediately. I remember seeing a guy carrying a bushel basket of sparrows a fair distance, and they used to be just dangling in the street market stalls. (1967)

In the South-West, this how to eat ortolans. Now this is prohibited since 1999, except if your a president ... in fact it's a quail in the picture, ortolans are much smaller and I suppose the guy in the pix is no President!)

Were you at Julio's?

Yes! That's exactly where we were. Looks like the same bird too! Good food.--KV
