Whats everyone eating?

[BrewStew]

thought i'd fill the gap as we've got "what are you drinking" "what are you listening to" "what are you watching" but not a "what are you eating"

had a lovely meal down the local Fox & Hounds, recently awarded the "Cask Marque" for their Timothy Taylors Landlord, and that washed the rib eye steak down lurvely mmmmmmm steak

 

[BrewStew]

actually we've not got a "What's everyone watching" :lol: i'll start that too

Last night i had Lamb Parmigiana with minted peas and broad beans and saffron fondant potatoes. It was very good. I love cooking.

 

[BrewStew]

mmmmm sounds tasty.

i hate cooking. spent too many years as a chef back in my younger years. cooked enough meals to last me a lifetime. i'd much prefer to shoot skin and gut it, and the mrs cook it ... soon that dream will be a reality (i went shooting tonight at the club and got a lead to a farmer that needs some bunnies taking care of )

 

[BrewStew]

hmmmm i'm eyeing up the two partridges i have in the freezer and wondering what i can do with them tomorrow or wednesday night. any suggestions?

Hotpot tonight Mmm, with kidneys not oysters

F---un Gordon's :shock: shepherds pie with Branston Pickle from his new book. I haven't bought it but cribbed the recipe from the newspaper. Everyone liked it :thumb:

Continuing our slam it in the oven and forget about it meals, liver and bacon casserole with garlic & rosemary roast potatoes.

Smells good at the moment, looking forward to tucking in :party:

 

[BrewStew]

shepards pie and branston? that sounds WEEEEEEEIRD!

i might have to give that a try :lol: i wonder if it'll work for cottage pie too :hmm:

 

[BrewStew]

so, anyone got any tips for the partridges? alot of the recipes i'm finding online are just to "a la carte" for my liking

My wife's aunt cooked a similar meal for us in France. I've never been able to replicate it to her standard but it is worth a go.

that's a bit posh ennit? :lol:

i've only got two partridges sadly... if i had four i'd definitely see reason to go and buy all those ingredients for it though.

hmmmm i might just bang em in the oven and roast them the same way as chicken with roast tatties, carrots, mash, cabbage and leaks.

 

[Kingfisher]

Not at all posh just what you get for an everyday meal in the French countryside. 1/2 the recipe

If you're roasting be careful, they will dry out quickly and be wasted.

 

[BrewStew]

i've read 30 mins tops for pink in the middle, 35 for well done... is this accurate?

yeah it uses half the ingredients but i'd have to buy the same amount and use less... and it's unlikely i'll use those ingredients again before they spoil

 

[Kingfisher]

Couldn't say much about roasting times Brew except that I know you can dry these small birds out easily. If you're going to do that I'd say put some bacon rashers over the breasts or cover well with butter. I tend to casserole most game including the venison.

There's nothing much to waste in the extra ingredients. I love cabbage and peas with cummin, black mustard seed etc, to accompany an Indian dish and savoy keeps well in the fridge.

 

[BrewStew]

you know, i think you've twisted my arm :)

i'll save it for saturday to give me ample time for ingredient procurement

 

[Vossy1]

I Partridge a few weeks back.
I wasn't very keen, it was too fragrant for my tastes.

 

[BrewStew]

it's a bit full of it ennit?

i do like the flavour of game though... i'm so bored with chicken these days though when it comes to poultry... it's just too........ erm.... boring
