30 Sep 98 - 07:37 PM (#40078) Subject: Golden Brown Flamingos.. From: Bill D 8 or 9 years ago, I taped a folk program which included a song which mused about roast flamingo..
"I've just been wondrin' how flamingo would taste...golden brown. something like that. I probably even still HAVE the tape...but my labeling procedures and filing system leave something to be desired, and I have lost track of it... I asked the DJ who played it (several years later), and she said she 'thought' it was by Greg Brown....does anyone know this immortal classic? It is a short song, but makes such a profound impact, ;-) , I would love to find it again. (Something to sing while preparing Thanksgiving dinner, perhaps) |

From: Bill D I've GOT to learn the difference between a backslash & a forward slash...*sigh*...ah well, I suppose Joe Offer will happen along and fix it....(weren't we supposed to get the ability to edit our own posts at one time?? There was this experimental page...) Yup. Joe fixed it. |

FLAMINGOS
I was just a-wonderin how flamingo would taste,
Make some red eye gravy--won't that taste nice?
Now you can bring me chicken if it's southern fried,
(repeat 1st verse)
I told Larry that there's no need to wonder how it would taste; the flavor's somwhere between a bald eagle and a trumpeter swan !!! Art |

No more Ronald, no more Dave, no more Idiot King, think of the possibilities! We can dispose of all that junk styrofoam AND the worlds litterbugs in one fell swoop! If we can just do something about Miller Blight. Frank i.t.s. |

15 Oct 98 - 12:46 PM (#41813) Subject: RE: Golden Brown Flamingos.. From: Martin Ryan Despite my ornithological interests, I never got round to checking out this thread.
Some years ago, I was involved in the early stages of a project to preserve (in the sense of conserve!) corncrakes. The corncrake is a rather nondescript bird also known as the "land rail". Anyway, I discovered that Mrs. Beaton, the famous Victorian cook, included a recipe for same in her well-known cook book!She reckoned you needed four per portion. I suggested that if the project was successful we could start a whole new line in fast food, with corncrake kebabs etc.!
Regards p.s. are "trumpeter swans" what we call "whoopers"? |

16 Oct 98 - 01:58 PM (#41970) Subject: RE: Golden Brown Flamingos.. From: Bill D yes...I have a recording of "The Echo Mocks the Corncrake"...lovely song! I never knew what it was about before...(don't think I'll eat any, however, The American Passenger Pigeon is a good lesson) |
