Comment on Eating the Birds of America: Audubon's Culinary Reviews of America's Birds

Comments

When they feed on grasshoppers and strawberries, Upland Sandpipers are “truly delicious.”

In our era where foodies exist and some number of them have effectively no spending limit, I wonder if any business raises sandpipers for use in a truly rare dining experience.

This is the plot of "The Freshman", which is an excellent movie. Starring Matthew Broderick, and featuring Marlon Brando parodying himself in The Godfather!

They are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty, and in the U.S. under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

That just means that certain permits may be needed, and only in two countries out of the bird's natural range of two dozen.

Three countries, but your point stands.
