A small island restaurant has added new items to its menu: crow and seagull dishes. Its hope is to lure those with an adventurous palate. Manager Rolf Sund told the Tonsberg Blad newspaper he's not sure how well the venture will do, but said tourism numbers are down in Ostre Bolaerne, an archipelago on the outer fringe of the Oslo Fjord. According to United Press International, Sund began advertising his "Christmas buffet with a difference" after learning that hunting and eating the plentiful birds was legal. The chef has prepared both crow and seagull in a variety of sauces. Sund said he hopes to dispel the notion that crows are "not clean," and made the inevitable taste comparison. "It tastes like chicken with a hint of game. And it is safe to eat," Sund said.
