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 ...

They have been seen, it seems whatever measures are taken, a few
survive and continue to breed.
