Has anyone here ever eaten Starling Pot Pie?
I am the caretaker (for the current generation) of my Grandfather's LC Smith 20 gauge. The first owner of the gun was Papa's brother-in-law. That man's son recently told me he remembers (when he was 8 or 9) his father used it to shoot at a flock of starlings in a tree in the back yard, and "killed 20 or 30 with one shot" (so the story goes). The boy picked them up by the bucketfull, and his mother made a pie out of them.
The man earned a decent living, but he had a very large family, so they probably couldn't afford to waste any meat.
