For anyone out of the loop like myself:It's a ptarmigan, probably a white-tailed ptarmigan in its winter plumage. They're in the grouse subfamily, which are related to pheasants and turkeys.

It's typically not made from cows' milk, typically doesn't dispense drugs, but eating it might possibly consign you to the underworld.

Can you explain more about potentially dying?

Due to the myth of Hades and Persephone, the pomegranate is associated with the duality of life and death: https://greek.mythologyworldwide.com/the-symbolism-of-the-pomegranate-in-hades-and-persephones-story

I don't think there's any further link beyond a simple joke

Hah, I was just referring to the "pomegranate" message in the OP. In Greek mythology, Zeus' daughter Persephone was tricked into a marriage with Hades by eating pomegranate seeds.
