1037.0. "boiled seagull recipe ..." by MPGS::BAILEYB (May the 4 winds blow u safely home) Wed Nov 02 1988 12:48

    I found this one in another Notes conference and thought it appropriate
    to put it here ...
    
    OLD MAINE COAST RECIPE:
    
    Catch one seagull, preferably young.
    
    Put in kettle with a brick.  Cleaning and defeathering not required.
    
    Add salt or salted water.
    
    Boil till fork can be stuck in the brick.
    
    ... then eat the brick.

1037.1For hungry lake sailorsCDR::SPENCERJohn SpencerWed Nov 02 1988 16:2711
Shades of an old backwoods recipe for making tasty coot (known to be a 
rather tough bird, at best):

Take a kettle full of water, put in the coot and boil for 24 hours.  
Take the coot out of the water and throw away the water.  
Fill the kettle with water and boil the coot for another 24 hours.  
Take the coot out of the water, throw away the water, and nail the 
     coot to a board.  
Place the board outside in the sun for three days.  
Take the coot off the board, throw away the coot, eat the board.

    I thought bricks were only used for "bricking" camels
