I cooked partridge last Sunday - first of the season. Should be able to get pheasant in a couple of weeks - cannot wait.

What's partridge like?

I'm still undecided on pheasant
It's a bit too strong a flavour at times, I find.

I expect you wouldn't like grouse then - that's stronger than pheasant.

mm it's awesome in stew
Couldn't eat a lot of it if it was the main meat though

In a stew or a pie I think it's magnificent
But we had it instead of Turkey last christmas, served with venison sausages alongside it. Very tasty, but just too damn rich.

A little lighter than pigeon & not as deep as pheasant. It needs cooking for only a short amount of time to stop it from drying out so I tend to braise it.
I have a recipe for braising game in beer, honey & thyme - delicious. Add some creme fraiche to the sauce just before serving. Serve with savoy cabbage and roast king edwards or with celeriac mash.

I have a plan for a small civilised sunday lunch in November while the gf is away - I will gaz you.
This won't be on the scale of the supper club I was planning as I don't think our oven would cope with cooking for more than 6.

On the list of things I've only ever eaten once
You've got Celeriac, Rabbit & Asparagus that I'd definitely eat again.

Then you've got Foie Gras and Blue Stilton which you can fuck right off with.

I love all these. Have you ever had hare? Jugged hare is awesome.

Nope, though I'd love to try it
What is Jugged hare?
