The treatise on the Scoter occupies pp. 119 of the second part. This exquisite duck has been the subject of numerous and lengthy controversies The history of the scoter deserves our attention as it holds both gastronomic and theological interest. Because of the peculiar beliefs surrounding their origin these birds were considered lean meat and therefore permitted during Lent. This curious privilege arose from the fact that they appeared suddenly in countless flocks upon the waters surface and aided by a taste for the marvellous people imagined that they were born from seaweed decayed wood or shells. The poet Du Bartas echoed this notion in his Création du Monde when he celebrated this strange creature: Ainsi le vieil fragment d'une barque se change En des canards volants ô changement étrange Même corps fut jadis arbre verd puis vaisseau Naguère champignon et maintenant oyseau! It is easy to see how such a belief could reassure the most timid consciences; it thus required Pope Innocent III to issue an explicit prohibition placing the flesh of the scoter among forbidden meats. In vain did he launch his prohibitions for enthusiasts continued to eat them; and when the truth about these birds became known thanks to Graindorge and the accounts of navigators other pretexts were sought to preserve the old regulations. It was suggested that the scoters blood was cold even claimed that its fat resembled fish oil and the custom which lasted into the nineteenth century of eating scoters during Lent was extended to other waterfowl such as brant geese coots and teal which were conveniently confused with the species sanctioned by the councils.
