    Hey! What part of “no stores, no extra food” did you miss back there?

    Hope this village wasn’t in England. The queen does not look kindly upon folks who kill her swans!

    I bet they were delicious. A little “slap ya mama,” a little honey… yum.

    Hey people have to eat. If the town can’t spare any food, we did those swans a favor so they didn’t starve to death.

    I been told Swan is very tasty and it tastes like Duck. In fact, the Queen owns all the Swans on the River Thames. It was such a delicacy only Noblity and Royality were allowed to eat Swan.

    Traditionally, in England, all swans were the property of the Crown. Killing and eating swans was forbidden to all others, with serious penalties attached. In the 1970’s I knew some dancers from Les Grandes Ballets Canadiens who were performing Paris. They decided to catch a swan from the Bois de Boulogne to make a Thanksgiving dinner for some homesick company members from the US, with disastrous results. A performance of “Swan Lake” with heroic leaps and falls unrivaled by anything ever done by the Trocadero’s ballet corps ensued. The Canadians, dancing injured for the rest of their tour, said it was more like a hockey scrum. Final takedown score: Swans 9, Dancers 0, and a vegetarian Thanksgiving for all. Those swans can fight!

    I love Clover’s reaction. Utter shock from Salem, Peter, and Ebenezer. Ivan, I expect if Grandma had said they’d unleashed the Plague on the village as well Ivan would have been jumpng up and down for joy. But Clover’s like “I should have known.” So adorable.
