Its not evil.  It's within period.  People actually ate it.  There are days when I think I am the only person who thinks it would be cool to play with this bird in an SCA setting.  After all, we don't have a lot of large birds available to us.  Last time I checked, they frowned upon us using swans and peacock.

Edit: And... its not as if I would ever serve potato or tomato... those killed people and were outright banned in most courts.

In doing research, I find that in the US, the Giant Swan was hunted to extinction, a few states have a Tundra Swan season, and Mute Swans are fair game in a couple of states, as they are an invasive, destructive ( period! ) bird.
Delaware seems to be one of the Mute Swan states.

Trumpeter Swan is a protected species due to overhunting.

The frowning upon part has more to do with people having a moral objection to eating swan and peacock I think more than anything else. Personally, it could be fun to play with a really large bird.

I hear ostrich recipes are period, if you're looking for large birds. ;)

I guess I should clarify. A large bird to gallontine, but not too large that it will not fit into an oven. ;-)
