Damn neighbors a few miles down the road let peacocks run around breeding everywhere. One of them made it up to my yard. Idiot bird is so damn noisy. Are they any good to eat? :evil:

Egyptians kings used to serve Peafowl to royal visitors.
They're damn near a turkey, they're very good eating.
Get the young ones, they won't be tough.

It appears to be a young male. Tailfeathers not grown in yet, but it has green shiny neck feathers and that tassel on its head.

I'm sure there are parts of this world that eat peacocks. Cook it up and let us know how it tastes. :)

Peacocks great on a plate

For those who are on a diet but who really want to eat something meaty, peacocks are the answer.

The fat content of peacock meat is very low, only 0.8 to 1 per cent, while the levels of protein, vitamins, calcium and other microelements are high. The nutritional value of a peacock is much higher than that of fish or snake.

In China, peacock, due to its high nutritional value, has become an example of the special poultry whose development the country vigorously encourages.

Peacock is also much beloved by cooks. The special texture of the meat makes it suitable for different cooking methods, from boiling to stir-frying, and from stewing to roasting.

However it is cooked, the peacock meat turns out to be wonderful. The very best, as experienced chefs from the Rainbow Hotel pointed out, is peacock soup, with a mixed sweet and fragrant flavour.

Peacock meat also works to eliminate toxins from the inner body, an important function for those white-collars who, due to their heavy schedules, are vulnerable to becoming constipation sufferers.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, peacocks have for a long time been viewed as an aid to the nourishment of Yin, supplementing the function of the kidneys. Research found that all the nourishment contained in peacock meat is very easily absorbed by the human body.

After so much information about the nutritional and medicinal benefits of peacock meat, the reader may think that peacock may taste as bitter as medicine. Believe it or not, the flavour is wonderful. Besides, the presentation of each course, so delicately made into the peacock appearance, is also a delight to the eyes.
