Duck and ptarmigans are good! I suspect I would also like swans, but

Illegal here unless you are the king!

 
WTF!? In what medieval country do you live? ;) I had it in iceland, my
grand father shot it and it was excellent!
 

United Kingdom. All swans belong to the crown and only Royalty is allowed to
eat it or serve it, and I think some university colleges.

 
Surely no one follows this law? I mean, I am certain there's old cruft and
cobwebs in the swedish law book, but no one seriously follows it.

I imagine that swan-lovers take advantage of it. But a documentary
I watced that visited a swan farm in the UK pointed out that the
law only applies to wild swans, those raised on a farm can be and
are sold and eaten by any old peasant.
