SC - Big birds on the medieval plate

[Christina Nevin]

In England (I'm not sure about Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland), the
swans all belong to the Crown (as aforementioned).

To consume swan, by law you have to apply for a special license from the
Queen.

Needless to say, it isn't eaten much! ('officially' at any rate)
