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?

I am told there are a lot along the Norfolk Broads. *They originally escaped

river bank

They are quite often seen on the river banks, and from a boat you can
see the damage they do as they burrow into the bank.
