Flamingos are a type of pink, wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae with bills specially adapted to filter-feeding upside-down. They are prevalent in Egypt among other diverse regions around the world.
History[edit | edit source]
The Egyptians during the Ptolemaic dynasty found flamingo meat to be particularly savory, with the tongue being regarded as the most succulent portion, a delicacy befitting for royal feasts. Despite this, flamingo tongues were only worth 5 drachmae in 48 BCE.[1] Flamingo tongues were highly sought after by the Romans as well, who ate them as a delicacy, boiled with herbs such as dates.[2]
During the 18th century, the pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway saw flamingos often during his travels all over the Caribbean islands.[3]
