I saw a documentary on the BBC some time ago about a very small group of people who were stranded on a small island off the coast of Britain someplace, sometime last century, and yes, they caught and eat seagulls. I have no idea what they tasted like. Pretty horrible I would imagine, especially for a vegan like me.

I did come across this:

At times it was illegal to consume shore birds, like the gulls. There is the tale of the butcher in Germany who made sausage from various birds he killed. Eventually the police showed up and had him arrested. He was charged with taking a tern for the wurst.
