I was playing golf this morning and hit an albatross..?

Question

...killed the poor creature instantly! However, its demise should not be in vain. Does anyone have any serving suggestions? What wine should one serve with the meat?

Answer 1

I wouldn't eat it if I were you.  

The last people to do such a thing suffered greatly for it:

"The mariner kills the bird of good omen

His shipmates cry against what he's done

But when the fog clears, they justify him

And make themselves a part of the crime.

...

The albatross begins with its vengeance

A terrible curse a thirst has begun

His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner

About his neck, the dead bird is hung.

...

Day after day, day after day,

We stuck nor breath nor motion

As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean

Water, water everywhere and

All the boards did shrink

Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.

...

Death and she life in Death

They throw their dice for the crew

She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now.

Then... crew one by one they drop down dead, two hundred men

She... she life in Death.

She lets him live, her chosen one.  

...

One after one by the star dogged moon,

Too quick for groan or sigh

Each turned his face with a ghastly pang,

And cursed me with his eye

Four times fifty living men

(And I heard nor sigh nor groan),

With a heavy thump, a lifeless lump,

They dropped down one by one."

Taking the above into account, I would say it is not worth the risk.

Answer 3

Answer 4

cruel woman! Do you like beating birdies?  If you truly got an albatross in golf I'd celebrate with nothing less than a bottle of french Champaigne.  Congratulations

Answer 5

Answer 6

Well, you've come to the right man.... you lucky tart!

As you know, the Albatross is a big sea bird - rather like a Shag. And if you like a good Shag, you'll love Albatross. The Bigger the Bird, the Bigger the Challenge is my motto! . First of all, give it a severe plucking, pummeling the firm b*****s and thighs as you go. If it's a particularly large bird, get a couple of mates to help you.

Then take it in turns to stuff it, making sure that you get in as much as possible. Believe me, time spent in preparation is worth it. Finally, there is nothing better than spit roasting something like this. Believe me, this is so good that you will want to keep it all to yourself, savouring every mouthful.

As the septics say, 'Enjoy'!

Answer 7

I wouldn't recommend eating it - but if you must surely a white wine is only proper with fowl.

Answer 8

Tell that Mr. Coleridge all about it.

He'll probably write a poem about it on the way to the meal.

Answer 9

I never would have thought of hunting with a golf ball........ enjoy.

Answer 10

The Duke of Chalfont is right! Don't touch it! Turn around and walk a way. Stop by the Church and repent. After this observance a lady will go  home dress in black and have a gin and tonic.
