Not good for gout, but you can find plenty of historical recipes for it. I 
would imagine the gizards taste nice as a confit:

Salt 1kg if them abundantly and leave to marinate 12 hours. Rinse and drain 
them. Warm 1kg of  duck fat, add the gizards and add 3 cloves of garlic in 
their skins, a sprig of thyme and a bay leaf. Simmer gently for at least 1 
hour. Check they are cooked, then let them cool down.

These will keep, covered in the duck fat, for up to a fortnight in the fridge.

In Britain all swans bilong Mrs. Kwin and I don't think she lets us eat them.
