yes you can eat the flamigo, we eat it on a regular basis here in the UAE, there are a number of excellent outlets here that specialise in the delights of the flamigo. the flamigo meat, especially from just under the wing is very pork like, which has a captive market here. ask your local butcher for a flamigo, it isn't a very popular bird in most of the world but i believe it is readily available these days and can be sourced without too much difficulty. favourite flamigo dishes would be flamigo fajita, flamigo paste, crispy flamigo and smoked flamigo.
