Do people EAT sandhill cranes?
I am not sure about sandhill cranes, but I remember the late author Marjorie
Kinnan Rawlings writing about early Florida settlers ("Crackers") killing
white ibis for food, They called them "curlews," and the meal they created
from
the birds and rice was called "curlew purlew" (purloo). I think it was in her
book CROSS CREEK about her life on Orange Lake that she wrote about that. I
read it when I was young. As a Florida native, it was practically required
reading for me. I have read somewhere that sandhill cranes were also used in
the
same kind of "dish."
