And how the frod did they get them bagged up so neatly? I mean - I have encountered an angry swan and would probably have bagged myself up rather than him (given availability of bag).

A couple of kilos of pork to make chorizo

A good brine for corned beef is a wonderful thing

5lbs brisket is the corned beef quantity

I would never purloin a donkey

Anyway there’s no good eating on a donkey according to a huntsman I knew

He would humanely kill elderly or injured equines and feed them to the hounds

Today is the Feast Day of St Anthony of Egypt, who went into the wilderness accompanied by an herd of pigs.

In ‘my’ bit of Austria it is celebrated by eating the cured & prepared meat of an specially slaughtered pig, so a good day fer Salami, Twellsy.

There’s Black Pudding too.

Almost everything bar the squeak…

And then there is another problem. I assume that being bagged has not made them happy.

How do you get them OUT again without injury to anyone, swan or human?

A bagged swan might be ill so bagging it is easier

So debagging a swan just needs you to approach from the rear with a stanley knife and cut em loose

I have often contemplated this course of action myself.

I trust you are thinking like a witch Gus

The best way to a man’s heart is through the lower ribs and then angle the knife up…

I know, & any decent kitchen knife will have a longer blade than an Stanley knife.
