Question of the day: What is the deal with eating crow?
Our question of the day is: "What is the deal with eating crow? I never understood."
This was posted on our latest article regarding Dr. Melba Ketchum's scheduled interview on Coast to Coast AM. Supporters of Dr. Ketchum argue that we should all wait for the Bigfoot DNA paper to pass peer review before criticizing Ketchum for her lack of openness. Some have touted that skeptics and naysayers will be "eating crow" when the paper is published. For many of us, the idiom "eating crow" is something we don't hear very often. What does crow have anything to do with admitting wrongness? Well. Thanks to Bigfoot Evidence reader, SasquaiNation, he pulled this information up from Wikipedia:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eating crow is a U.S. colloquial idiom,[1] meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proved wrong after taking a strong position.[2] Eating crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proved wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.[2] The exact origin of the idiom is unknown, but it probably began with an American story published around 1850 about a slow-witted New York farmer.[3] Eating crow is of a family of idioms having to do with eating and being proved incorrect, such as to "eat dirt" and to "eat your hat" (or shoe), all probably originating from "to eat one's words", which first appears in print in 1571 in one of John Calvin's tracts, on Psalm 62: “God eateth not his words when he hath once spoken”.[2]

DeleteBigfoot wishes no ill will on those that don't believe. He embraces the skeptics, for they are without faith.
Deleteyes my fellow believer embrace his greatness
DeleteChutack
Chutack my friend. I am also a bigfoot, as the S.H.O.s (small hairless ones) call us. I am working on my own web site with pictures of my family and friends that will clearly show that we do indeed exist and we are not so different from the S.H.O.s. Soon, it will be known to all.
DeleteAnybody that uses that idiom and is serious is a knucklehead.

You seriously need to get laid.

I tried relieving myself using a warm tomato and a cucumber but it didnt have the desired effect
DeleteThe cucumber ? In the tailpipe ? Your on the wrong site sweetly. You need to go to team too too. You will find like minded people there
DeleteEat corn like Bigfoot
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do to avoid the crow, is choose anything but bigfoot as the answer. The test is simple, yet many continue to fail. The rubes are ripe, and by ripe I mean green. Get the green, while they're green. Bigfoots motto.
ReplyDeleteBigfoot is the answer to all your troubles.
DeleteCrow will never be eaten because there will never be evidence for an imaginary creature.
ReplyDeleteI'm selling tickets to a festival in which Timmy and his boyfriends sit at a long table and each eat a large plate of dirt.

Tickets for this event are $3.

Without RP you taterholes would never have heard the term pendulous.
I
Don't fret you ole muckraker. I still remember how we done did it. Thank god for NDA's
DeleteThe skeptics and naysayers have a bad case of wanting to have their cake and eat it too. It's the typical standard state of being of this kind of individual. They want it all, they must have it all, or tantrums result.
ReplyDeleteThey revealed this again when, perhaps getting nervous over impending DNA results, they moved the goalpost:
They used to flatly naysay the DNA; but now, in the face of these DNA studies, they say the DNA will mean nothing without a sample body to test against.
It's a ludicrous and childish attempt at playing a pea and shell game in order to protect their positions.
They are trying to change the rules while the ball is still in play.
They are trying to change horses midstream.
No matter what evidence is produced, they will just keep moving the goalpost further away so that the evidence doesn't meet their imaginary criteria.
They will keep doing this until the goalpost can't be moved any further.
The nice thing about this is that the naysayers aren't in charge of where the goalpost is, or the status of the evidence, or the rules of the game. They are only in charge of their own personal goalposts, and nothing needs to be proven to them.
They don't hold the keys to the kingdom and aren't the ones to prove anything to.
They are almost professional deniers, forever backpeddling in an attempt to discount any evidence no matter how valuable it is. They will say one aspect of something doesn't exist; when it's later to be shown to exist, they backpeddle furiously, move the goalpost, change horses, and change the rules of the game, so that they can recover their lost ground and start all over again saying the thing doesn't exist.
It's really the position of the spoiled child, wanting to have his cake and eat it too.
ReplyDeleteCrow seems much maligned as food which is a pity, below are some recipes that are worth trying and I suggest you experiment by substituting nay corvid of your choice.
Crow and Mushroom Stew :
3 crows
1 Tbsp lard/shortening
1 pint stock or gravy
2 Tbsp cream
1/2 cup mushrooms
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper
Clean and cut crows into small portions and let them cook a short time in the lard/shortening in a saucepan, being careful not to brown them.
Next, add to the contents of the pan, the stock or gravy, and salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.
Simmer 1 hour, or until tender, add mushrooms, simmer 10 minutes more and then stir in cream.
Arrange the mushrooms around the crows on a hot platter.
Potted Crow:
6 crows
3 bacon slices
stuffing of your choice
1 diced carrot
1 diced onion
chopped parsley
hot water or stock
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup flour
buttered toast
Clean and dress crows; stuff and place them upright in stew-pan on the slices of bacon. Add the carrot, onion and a little parsley, and cover with boiling water or stock.
Cover the pot and let simmer for 2-3 hours, or until tender, adding boiling water or stock when necessary.
Make a sauce of the shortening and flour and 2 cups of the stock remaining in the pan.
Serve each crow on a thin slice of moistened toast, and pour gravy over all.
Crow Pie:
1 crow
stuffing of your choice
salt and pepper
shortening
flour
2 Pie crust mixes
2-3 hard-boiled eggs
Stuff the crow. Loosen joints with a knife but do not cut through.
Simmer the crow in a stew-pan, with enough water to cover, until nearly tender, then season with salt and pepper. Remove meat from bones and set aside.
Prepare pie crusts as directed. (Do not bake)
Make a medium thick gravy with flour, shortening, and juices in which the crow has cooked and let cool.
Line a pie plate with pie crust and line with slices of hard-boiled egg. Place crow meat on top. Layer gravy over the crow. Place second pie dough crust over top.
Bake at 450 degrees for 1/2 hour.
Sadly my redneck family has a history is actually eating crows and squirrels and snakes
