God..:. you have a fantastic eye.

Place the bird in a kettle of water with a red building brick free of mortar and blemishes. Parboil the coot and brick together for 3 hours. Pour off water, refill the kettle and again parboil for 3 hours. For the third time, throw off the water. For the last time add fresh water and let the coot and brick simmer together overnight. In the morning throw away the coot and eat the brick.

Beautiful! And my, my but those trees...
