Anyone ever eaten Moorhen?
Not that I'm advocating anyone starts eating wild birds, but, I guess from the name they used to be considered tasty.

It was common to shoot them as pest control when I lived in the countryside as a kid (because otherwise they kill all the ducklings) but I never heard anyone propose eating them.

Thanks for this.
I've never previously heard of the quackicidal tendencies of Moorhens.
