Tonight's dinner.
 
Is that you in pic 1???? I always pictured you much older looking...Of course I picture you as goblin like as well... :D


But those phesants look delicious....so how ARE you preparing them?
 
My coworker hunts a lot of Pheasant. I see them hit on the road this time of year a lot. Nice work, did you hang them?
 
I hung them for 5 days. I'm away for the weekend and they would of been too strong by the time I got to do them on my return so I had to cook them today.

I partially plucked them then just ripped the skin off and jointed them.
It save time and means you don't have to gut them.
My parents were over and I didn't want to scare them. They have never had pheasant or partridge before and like lots of people they are a little unsure about game.

I just roasted them and added a little ale at the end to make a sauce and served them with roasted vegetables from my plot.

Yes that's me after a long walk in the Lancashire countryside last weekend.
 
How many birds were there?

And did you sing this song whilst plucking them? :D

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son
I'm only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker comes.

Me husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man
I try to understand him and I help him all I can,
But sometimes in an evening I feel a trifle dim
All alone, I'm plucking pheasants, when I'd rather pluck with him.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mate
I'm only plucking pheasants 'cos the pheasant plucker's late !

I'm not good at plucking pheasants, at pheasant plucking I get stuck
Though some pheasants find it pleasant I'd rather pluck a duck.
Oh plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease
But pheasant plucking's torture because they haven't any grease.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, he has gone out on the tiles
He only plucked one pheasant and I'm sitting here with piles !

You have to pluck them fresh, if it’s fresh they’re not unpleasant,
I knew a man in Dunstable who could pluck a frozen pheasant.
They say the village constable had pheasant plucking sessions
With the vicar on a Sunday ‘tween the first and second lessons.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mum
I'm only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker's come.

My good friend Godfrey is most adept, he's really got the knack
He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack.
I like to give a helping hand, I gather up the feathers,
It's really all our pheasant plucking keeps us pair together.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's friend
I'm only plucking pheasants as a means unto an end !

My husband's in the forest always banging with his gun
If he could hear me half the time I'm sure that he would run,
For there's fluff in all my crannies, there's feathers up my nose
And I'm itching in the kitchen from my head down to my toes.

I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's wife
And when we pluck together it's a pheasant plucking life !

I have never hung fowl, what is the procedure?


mmmm. not sure.

I just errrrr sort of hang them........

It's cool here at present and not to wet so I just hang them outside out of the reach of the dogs. Ungutted. Until I get time to prep and cook them.

How many birds were there?

And did you sing this song whilst plucking them? :D

A brace (one male and one female) of Pheasant and Partridge
