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.

:drool: I gotta be honest, the quail was soo delicious and sweet, dinner was very tasty tonight :nom nom: :nom nom: :nom nom:
You buggers it must of been old stuff:OSMILEY:
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!
Wheres te watties:P
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.
Looks good :thumbup:

Man that looks good, never shot a quail....like trying to shoot a bumblebee!!!!!!!
When shooting bumble bees there is no need to lead and it helps to line the bead up on the yellow bits.Quote:

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.Quote:

Aye, you have to work it right, then everyone is a winner and it looks like you have come to a compromise.
Yeah, might have to figure out something on the plucking side. Got into trouble with feathers sticking to stuff on the cloths line last time. :innocent:
andy,s said we can borrow his 1st world war turbo plucker anytime :D
reckons its a beauty and quick to, all we have to do is shoot enough ducks to make firing it up worth while
Be good to drag him out too.Quote:
