    At least you can eat the geese. What the heck am I going to do with turtledoves and partridges?

      People used to routinely eat just about every bird there was. The only reason nobody bothers with songbirds is that they’re too small to be worth a damn. Remember the passenger pigeon? The extinct one. Yeah we literally ate that into extinction.

        Fair enough. Although I don’t think you’d need to bother with the songbirds in this instance seeing as you’ve been gifted a years worth of geese, French hens, and milk. Unless you’re required to feed all the other various humans you’ve been gifted as well. I guess then it would be time to crack into the turtledoves.

      I’ve eaten partridge before. It’s not bad. Not sure I’d eat turtledove if I had other options.

      What about the French hens? Those seem like the likely nom nom candidate.
