A Scotsman, slow roasted on the spit, with a preference for one that has been Texas Heart Shot and marinated in his own bull shit..

Cheers,

Ha Ha Ha,
Excellent Dungbeetle....now all you have to do is find a Scotsman showing his arse to you!!
But for the most part I think you will generally find they generally come at you head on.

Cheers Roebuck

Too true, Hobuck, too true. Most Scots that I've seen boxing tended to lead with their heads as opposed to their left or right.

On your part about a THS and a Scot's arse rarely being turned to you; A good hunter is always patient and if so, sooner than later, you'll catch him distracted, crooning and cooing while tending one of his sheep. Patience can then often reward you with a one shot THS double, one for the spit and one for the stew.

And, yes, I saw Braveheart but you must fairly admit that it took a 'fair dinkum Aussie born Lad' to do it for you.

For what it's worth, my ancestors and forefathers are much the reason that the English had Hadrian's wall built. Now, back to your lip smackin recipes.

G'day M'Lord

Dungbeetle

Back to the original question...

Eland fillet. It is just THE best.

Haunch of roe, smothered in blackcurrent jam and roasted in foil to keep in the moistness. Yumm.

Pan fried pigeon breast on a bed of fresh watercress.

Rabbit pot roast in a mustard sauce

Hear, hear, good Sir. I stand duly corrected. But weren't the English crafty enough to commission the Romans to build that wall for them and at the Roman's expense? I think so. I spent many nights at the East Gate Hotel in Lincoln (which sits upon the East gate?) and that actually was the northern most outpost of the Roman Empire, I think. Wished I could remember the name of the pub that was right on the canal, past Lincoln Cathedral and downhill from the hotel. The best pints of bitters I ever had and it was a gathering place of those beautiful English Roses, the ones with long, thin necks and small ankles. What more can I say? Except for that I met a gent there who had 2 of John Surtees' motorcycles in his garage, a one lung Matchless and a Norton. Both still had the # plates on them. He also had an Eric Cheney framed BSA 441 Victor that John Banks used to train on for his Mx world championship. Lots of pictures and memorabilia surrounding those inner walls. Spent many a late afternoon in that musty garage having beers and just hanging out with him and his Mates. That gent has since passed on but at that time he was racing annually on the Isle of Man in the Classics division.

On the recipes - ditto on the pigeon breast 2nd only to elk backstrap, cut diagonally to produce a large, oval shaped steak, 1.5" thick, coated in garlic powder, onion powder, cracked black pepper, white pepper, then marinated in milk over night. Next day, allow to come to room temp, dredge and coat in seasoned Italian bread crumbs and put to a teflon skillet with 3 tbs of near smoking hot olive oil in it - dont overcook. A little HP sauce, a bottle of dago red and you're set.

Now, where were we, Hobuck, you're up next.

Dungbeetle

my undisputed number one is woodcock and then comes rest.

mallard, partridge, roe, wild boar... though not necessarily in that order.

the one which is most appreciated by my family is roe.

montero

Not in any particular order, but here goes:

Woodcock wrapped in bacon and roasted on a slice of toast,

Sirloin of Roe/Fallow marinated in teryaki sauce and BBQ'd still rare

January hen pheasants roasted with parsnip chips

Baked Rabbit with Chorizo onions & cherry tomatoes

Woodpidgeon boiled with penne and hallumi grated on top.
