    Mallard and Quail

    Tonight for dinner my family had roast quail and mallards, a huge thanks to gsp follower for them.
    The mallards and quail were wrapped in bacon.

    Sure was Dundee. GSP follower gave them to me at the end of last season. I've been too afraid to cook them as I have never had a lot of luck with them in the past. Had a looksie at the interweb last night but nothing took my fancy so I just noted a cooking time and temperature and winged it, though I did remember a few details I was given with the quail. Really nice manuka smoked farm bacon too.

    Add in some roast spuds, pumpkin, kumera, parsnip and beetroot, Mmmmmm!

    Maybe a dash of Barkers Spicy Plum Sauce or some sweet chilly?

    TR that looks delicious. Well done GM you are a handy sort of a bloke to have around. Love that you roast beetroot.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    When shooting bumble bees there is no need to lead and it helps to line the bead up on the yellow bits.

    Tried it for the first time a couple of weeks back. Must say it is a winner, and much better than faffing about bottling.

    I Agree GM a friend of ours introduced us to roast beetroot a couple of years back. I didnt even know they sold it raw at the supy until then.

    I grew the stuff here for a couple of years; till I had a sleepout built for an office on the vege garden. Think it's time to sacrifice some lousy lawn for a wee vege patch.
