Ya know - I never even gave any thought of where they grow the stuff. Who ever heard of rice farming in Italy? Now farmers have started patrolling day and night in an effort to scare the birds away from their rice crops. The farmers honk truck horns, bang barrels and even fire small gas cannon that make thunderous booms. However, the noise mostly just sends the flamingoes flying to another nearby paddy to trample it underfoot. The full story is funny - and fascinating. You'd never think of these two things in the same context - flamingos and rice, I mean...
There must be some good recipes for flamingo. Maybe even with rice stuffing.
ReplyDeleteYa' gotta get the real pink flamingos, Don Featherstone made the original ones, his name is molded on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteAncient Romans considered flamingo tongue a delicacy.
