Yes, leave them alone and just admire their beauty!
Best ask the Queen as she owns all of them.
just roast it.
Under The Wildlife and Countryside Act, you are cooking up a recipe for a fine of ￡5,000 or 6 months in prison for killing a swan.
The swan is one of the queens birds,They are protected,Harm a swan and you will get your collar felt.
In England the swan is both a royal bird(owned by the queen) and a protected one, so killing and eating one is illegal on two counts. I wouldn't advise eating roadkill as the damage done is much greater than it looks like and the meat is damaged and filled with splintered bone.
The law about picking up roadkill states that the driver of the vehicle which hit the animal is not allowed to collect the kill but the car immediately after can.
At the time of Henry VIII, swan was considered to be the best bird to roast and was certainly the centrepiece of any nobleman's table. Certainly in any high class English household this would have been the Christmas meal
Now in the 21st century in the UK all swans are the personal property of the Queen, it is one of the animals that should you hit one when driving must be reported to the police, thus preventing people from eating them as roadkill.
The killing of a swan and gthe eating of it are both illegal, should you be caught I understand that there is a prison sentence for it under the laws of treason.
well i think you will be in serious trouble if you attempt to even kill one for cooking , they are a protected bird, sicko.
You should e-mail the RSPCA. They can help you out.
Do you live in the UK? Apparently the only person allowed to eat swan there is the Queen.
Ingredients: 1(2-piece) swan hard plastic candy mold
2packages (14 ounces each) dark chocolate confectionery coating pieces*
Fresh raspberries and raspberry leaves for garnish
Preparation: 1.While holding plastic mold half by its outer edge, polish the inner surface to a high gloss using a soft dry cloth. Repeat with remaining half. Line baking sheet with waxed paper.
2.Melt confectionery coating in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Uncover; stir until coating is melted. Remove from heat.
3.Ladle several spoonfuls of melted coating into one mold while supporting it underneath in palm of hand. Quickly tilt and rotate mold so melted coating covers inside. (Pour any excess melted coating directly back into double boiler.)
4.For intricate details such as head, neck and tail of swan, use small spoon to apply layer of melted coating
5.Invert mold half onto prepared baking sheet. Let stand until firm and dry. (Do not refrigerate.) Repeat procedure with remaining mold.
6.Repeat coating procedure to form second layer with each mold half, including reinforcing head, neck and tail details. Invert molds onto same baking sheet. Let stand in cool place until firm and dry, about 2 hours. (Do not refrigerate.) Reserve remaining coating in pan.
7.When swan is ready to be unmolded, coating should be firm, dry and pull slightly away from mold halves. Scrape away any bits of coating around edges of mold.
8.To unmold candy, hold 1 mold half by outer edge with 1 hand and inside of chocolate mold with other hand. Separate swan from mold by applying gentle pressure. (If chocolate does not come out easily, candy is not firm enough; refrigerate 10 minutes.) Place swan half, rounded side down, on small strip of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining half.
9.If necessary, remelt reserved coating by placing double boiler over low heat and stirring until coating is melted. Using strip of waxed paper, carefully lift 1 swan half and hold in palm of hand. Spread melted coating around swan's rim with small, clean craft paintbrush.****Pour any remaining coating onto foil; wrap tightly. Chop before remelting.
10.Carefully lift other swan half with waxed paper strip and gently press halves together to seal. Let stand in cool place until firm and dry. Store loosely covered with plastic wrap at room temperature. Garnish, if desired.
Chocolate Easter Bunny or Egg: Replace 2-piece swan mold with bunny or egg mold and proceed as directed.Variation: To create feathered effect, just after polishing mold with dry soft cloth, brush melted white confectionery coating onto feather details of mold with small clean paintbrush. Let stand in cool place until fir
I'd guess that a swan and a goose are pretty much similar when it comes to cooking.Maybe you could adapt a recipe for goose to fit .While swans are protected birds in the UK they are not treated with the same view in parts of eastern europe where they are very much a delicacy.If youre not in the UK by all means try a recipe for goose.if you are then steer clear of swan
Apparently you can stuff it with a whole duck and other assorted small game birds , medieval style .
I think your a naughty person just for asking.
Now go to your room.
Top class wind up love it have a star. If not remember that in the UK only her nibs in Buckie Hoose is allowed to eat them as they are protected by the crown.
