STURNUS, a starling, stare; Platina condemns its meat as unfit, likewise that of the blackbird (cf. [MERULA]); he pronounces their flesh to be “devilish.” “STURNI, QUOS VULGO DIABOLICAM CARNEM HABERE DICIMUS.” Yet three-hundred years later, French authorities recommend this sort of food. Viger, La Nouvelle Maison Rustique, Paris, 1798, Vol. iii, p. 613, tells how to catch and fatten STURNI. “After a month [of forced feeding] they will be nice and fat and good to eat and to sell; there are persons who live of this trade.” He praises the crow similarly
