Outstanding quail photo, how did you get the focus on bird/blurry background?

Aside from pure luck it may be that I was swinging the camera at a similar speed to the bird???

No skill involved then?

That I can gaurantee! Digital camera's.... just push the button and check later. As far as me and art are concerned I'd be lucky if you recognised a human stick figure I drew!!

Great sport even if not a gamebird by statute

I love pigeon shooting. but there not that many around here

A FIG post- featuring dead stuff

Yes. I have a few game meat lovers that do rather well out of me...... I am an expert vension cook and we eat it regularly. (I should add it took me years to train my family to eat venison, they still turn their noses up at Paua and crayfish- though the wife will eat fish). Ducks I haven't mastered quite so well. This was one attempt that worked quite well..... I hold hope that edibly cooked duck will become a staple food in our house one day.













Vaoi la!

My word Tim that stove takes me back to my childhood (although ours wasn't that flash). Clearly you eat in style so tell me do you add just the slightest hint of curry powder to your Paua if you slow cook them in cream (try it once if you don't)? Just a hint mind.

I am generally a fritter man reserving the paua steaks for the beach side cook up. You are not the first to have mentioned cooking in cream and the hint of curry powder. With your endorsement it is going to have to go on the "must try" list.

Some sea food fans from up north a bit might appreciate these Paua. The one in my hand is over 125 mm, sideways




Kotuku- Max is still a one man dog but can be coaxed with a pie!

EeeBee's- the stoves are fantastic. If I ever built a house it would be around a wood stove.

Heck no, too busy shooting ducks to worry about running an oven. We get caterers
