Oldfilibuster’s Rhyme & Reason – E05 – The Birds

Paul December 15, 2020
Did you know that Charles Darwin had a go at eating owl? While at Cambridge University he was a member of the “Gourmet Club,” which met once a week to eat animals not often found on menus. He found the old brown owl ‘indescribable’.…
