I added it to tuna once: tasted just like ribs.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859573160663941187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840508226007630755.post-19480816495744592882012-04-06T15:11:03.284+08:002012-04-06T15:11:03.284+08:00Steve: in the gospel of Matthew (KJB), Jesus refer...Steve: in the <a href="http://www.blueletterbible.org/tools/printerFriendly.cfm?b=Mat&c=10&v=29&t=KJV" rel="nofollow">gospel of Matthew</a> (KJB), Jesus refers to them as being sold "two for a farthing".

The house sparrow (that's the one with different-looking females and males) doesn't occur in Taiwan. This pic is the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, and it belongs here at least as much as it does in the UK.<br /><br />I doubt very much that it tastes good enough to warrant the effort of plucking and cooking.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859573160663941187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840508226007630755.post-38093743792219553052012-04-06T02:09:49.369+08:002012-04-06T02:09:49.369+08:00"I could have a half-a-dozen or so ready to s...<i>"I could have a half-a-dozen or so ready to ship to you by tomorrow."</i><br /><br />Christ, John...

I'll shoot a few dozen, barbecue them and see what they're like.
