The pelican isn't.

Recipe:

Pelican Fricassee

1 flying pelican, shreddered into pieces, 24tablespoons olive oil
24 medium onions, sliced in rings
4 clove garlic, minced
8 tomatoes, peeled, or 4 (16-ounce) cans stewing tomatoes with liquid
6 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons allspice
Dash of mace
2 cups water

Simmer the onions in a large pan very slowly, covered, for about 15 minutes or until soft, then add the garlic, and saute until the onions are golden.
Add the tomatoes and simmer a few minutes.

Meanwhile put the pelican whole through an F111 engine at 550km/h. It should now be nicely fried.

Now add the pelican pieces, the thyme, salt, pepper, allspice, mace, and water to the pan. Cover and cook for a half hour or until the pelican is tender, adding water if sauce is too thick.

Serve with rice.

Bon appetit!
