Black birds at a Roman dinner? They only called the Brits, the Gauls, etc., barbarians for wearing pants; there's a nursery rhyme about baking blackbirds in a pie.
All kidding aside, the Romans had some peculiar delectables on their (banquet) tables. I of course detest garum; I don't think I'd be overly keen on anything else at the dinner, though I'd eat the boar if it weren't served with two types of radishes, fish guts, and wine dregs.
I guess you eat what's available.
