Starlings for eating.

With a lot of starling dishes you have to bone the birds and a few recipe's for starling also roll them in egg then breadcumbs,here's a quick couple for you and i do have 21 recipe's for starling's in all ,so if these are good for you and you want more just ask.
Starling Crapaudine
Clean and bone your starlings,brush them inside and out with melted butter,fold in three and wrap each in bacon.Roast in a sharp oven for no more than 15 minutes,take them up,press flat so they will lie snugly in cases of fried bread,top up with rich mushroom sauce and serve.
Starlings Broiled
Clean one starling per person,cut off heads and legs to the knee joint.Truss quite firmly,dip in well beaten egg and roll in fresh breadcrumbs,dab well with melted butter and broil over a clear fire(a hot clean barbee should do)or under a pre heared grill,serve on buttered toast.

is this the ye ol reserpie book mate?

Yeah mate,whacky isn't it?.

Used to cook blackbirds and thrushes on camp fires when we were kids,always managed to burn them but we still ate the little charcoaled corpses,best was to catch them was roost shooting at night or in a mist-net

Says in my book about blackbirds to skin them then dip them in egg and breadcrumbs and fry in butter for most dishes,cut the blackbirds in half to make a pie and layer it with veal forcemeat and chunks of steak,moderate oven for 1 1/2 hours.The 4 and 20 blackbirds in a pie they used to do in the middle ages and they would bake a pie topping then put in the live birds for a table display sort of thing,sometimes they would make a big pie and a dwarf would jump out.

Only problem with them is they are fragile,the smaller sizes if you get anything bigger than a blackbird in it they will tear holes
