panned fried crow ala crowbusters.com

[mazzgolf]

Had this one crow that I wanted to experiment with. So, I looked up the crowbusters.com website and found the simplest recipe that didn't require a ton of ingredients... decided on "Pan Fried Crow".

I soaked in milk (not an egg) and did a double-coat of bread crumbs. Added a little cajun spice to the breading for extra flavor. Pan fried in oil, 3 minutes on each side.

Wasn't bad! Honestly, if you didn't know what it was, you'd probably think it was some kind of beef or dark-meat waterfowl like goose. You just have to make a mental jump to get over the fact you are "eating crow" and just concentrate on the taste. Crowbusters.com says it best:

"Our revulsion seems to center around the fact that the crow and it's close relatives are scavengers and therefore unfit to eat. Well, as far as pigs and chickens are concerned, you just wouldn't believe what these supermarket critters will stick in their mouths. Seafood? You honestly don't want to know what goes into a Blue Crab before it ends up on that expensive crab cake platter. I suppose the same goes for lobsters. The list goes on.

In short, it's really just our cultural prejudice that limits our possibilities."

 

Anyway, I will say that next time, I'll make sure to take off the thin silver-skin on the outside of the breast - it doesn't render off all the way when cooking so fast. Also will help when tenderizing - the silver-skin seemed to get in the way.

Somebody will try anything.

No, j/k!

I know or believe you're the type ... if you're going kill it, you might as well try it.

 That definitely looks good the way you made it.
