ROBINS AND BLUE JAYS.

ROBINS AND BLUE JAYS. I worked with a lot of lawyers from New Orleans, and they all attached great importance to food. (One greeting: “How’ve you been eating?”) One New Orleans lawyer used to say that all Yankee food was acceptable if you put tobasco sauce on it. When he saw a bird, he would often comment on whether it was good eating. For example: “Robins, those are good eating.” Most birds were good eating. Apparently blue jays are not good eating.
