Question is open to the whole floor.

It's got to be either quick pan fry and in the oven for 4 minutes in pieces
or long and low in the oven.

They will take on most flavours well. I like thyme, red wine, small onions and mushrooms with them.

Yep, very similar.

You're suggesting something related to cock.
This doesn't surprise me.

I make the best chips in the world, true story, there are no such thing as better chips than the chips I make.

I saw your method.
Make some game chips the same way then.

maaaybe.
I'm thinking (from taking all the suggestions on here), is wrapped in bacon and served with mash and a port joux.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:00, Reply)

For ultimate crispyness use pancetta.
Get it from a proper wop deli and get them to slice it nice and thin. The extra fat will crisp the skin up to fuck and keep the meat nice and juicy.

This is also a pro tip for roasting a whole fish.

( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:04, Reply)

Oh man, deffo deffo 100%. There is one round the corner from work too.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:05, Reply)

I might also suggest marsala instead of port.
It's just a bit sweeter and that. You could make a red cabbage and cranberry side, that'll complement the whole thing. What with it being a bit sharp and that.
( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:06, Reply)

Oh man, yeah', that sounds wicked, I'd be up for that.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:40, Reply)

Port may overpower the flavour of the meat.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:05, Reply)

nah, it's game. It can take a bit of a strong sauce.

( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 11:09, Reply)

I would use it as a condiment rather than sauce, so I have the best of both worlds.
Although stunned's one up there sounds pretty good too.

The only thing I've ever made with pheasant was game pie
I used duck, venison and pheasant, that was rather good.

Colour the meat, add garlic, onions, mushrooms, carrots, and any other veg you think is necessary. Then, add red wine and a bouquet garni, and let it cook on low for a while. Preheat the oven, either just add pastry lid, or make it into a full pie (I was rather lazy, and just added a lid).

Cook for about 30-40 mins at about 200 until everything is fully cooked, serve with either new potatoes or mash. NOM.

Although that sounds lush, I wanna highlight the pheasent as I've never had it before, where as I think it would be lost in that.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 10:58, Reply)

Can't really argue with that

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 10:59, Reply)

I prefer it braised in beer:
Half the pheasant, brown, set to one side.
Brown chopped shallots & sliced mushrooms.
Add 300ml beer, two cloves of garlic, spring of fresh time, 250ml of chicken stock and the juice of half a lemon to the shallots and mushrooms. Add the pheasant.
Place in oven on 180c for 30 minutes.
Remove pheasant and keep warm.
Reduce sauce, add 100ml of creme fraiche and 3 tablespoons of brandy or calvados.
Serve with goose fat roast King Edward potatoes and savoy cabbage.
