FAO Judith in France: Which part? We have French friends in Lot/Correze,
and the husband shoots ragondin (coypu) which damage his riverbank, and
recently they've found several recipes for ragondin stew etc. Have you
tried this delicacy?


Careful - if ragondin stew were to become fashionable, some people might
(unofficially of course) reintroduce a few coypu into the UK :-)


I thought we already had them?



Officially, they were eradicated from East Anglia in 1989. But reports of
sightings persist in Broadland ...
