Wait, wait: do you also happen to eat swans, given the chance?
I haven't yet but I see no reason not to.
But apparently they taste of fish and you have to feed the signet oats to make them taste nice.
Swans, genus Cygnus, are birds of the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and ducks.
So if a cow put on some make-up and wore a nice dress it would cease to be ugly and you wouldn't eat it?
Traditionally, the Monarch of the United Kingdom owns all unmarked mute swans on the River Thames. This dates from the 12th century, during which swans were a common food source for royalty.
