Tesco Discussion Chat & Grabbits 11+ Xmas/New Year Edition

BigChrisC

I'm not sure where to start with this or where to post but need some urgent advice:

Myself and my partner have been struggling with high bills at present and have been trying to cut our bills as much as possible. This has resulted in us getting our meat from the local butcher and we have seen a great reduction in price.
We have been buying from the butcher for about 6 months now and been trying different meats and been saying to the butchers to let us know of any other meats and have got quite friendly with the staff.

I was quite shocked to learn the other day the chap who normally serves us arrived at the house Monday morning with a big black bag. We were shocked to see him as we discussed where we lived but he'd never been round to the house. He said it's a new type of meat alot of people are liking at the moment but couldn't sell it to us in the shop. He said it was free as we'd been good customers.

To cut a long story short we ended up with cutlets of Swan which we ended up eating on Monday and Tuesday night. It was really good quality meat so mentioned this to a good friend of ours who said that eating this meat is illegal and should never mention this to anyone.

Has anyone else tried Swan? Is this illegal?

All swans are owned by the queen, so yes, it's illegal.

I'm not going to start preaching about the moral aspect, but I'd perasonally report the butcher. Your call though.

I believe it is illegal as swans are a protected species.
