Toby, have a look at this....
It serves 125, takes eight hours to cook and is stuffed with 12 different birds ... now that really IS a Christmas dinner | Mail Online

I think it was the Roman Nero who feasted on such a meal...the smallest bird was stuffed with an olive...it was the only thing of the creation he ate...!!

Plucked and roasted( wraped in bacon )whole birds , never tried them any other way. Keep the feathers they are good for fly tying

i just bake them whole wrapped in bacon mates missus deep fries them whole

anyone want to pre book my pheasant feathers this season for tying i,l bung them in the freezer anyway

Master cheff on ch1 stuff all the birds in the other birds on now.....1947hrs

EBs beat me to it, Spatched is the best way. Use the corkscrew trick to gut em, then skin them. Cut up the spine, then roll them out with a beer bottle, make sure you break the bones in them. Season and barbie over a open grill, under another heavy barbie plate on top, using plenty of butter as they are pretty lean. When thighs are cooked whole thing is well done

Second rough as guts way, Get woolworths stuffing and stuff them, stack them up in the pyramid and microwave them until they are cooked then finish them on the same open grill, lots of fire

Pointer, what about the lead in them...how the microwave deal with that!!!!
Can you please explain the corkscrew method??!!

Never had a problem with lead in them? Corkscrew method, make a small slit in said quails rectum up towards the breast about 10mm long, take a large corkscrew (yes the bottle opening variety) and stick it in birds new found rear end as far as you can go, twist two full turns and pull out. Voila, one gutted quail in seconds. Or just go old fashioned and scoop it out with a finger

Thank you!!!!

There you go Jack now you have had the advice of one of our finest country fare cooks all you need do now is bag enough to invite us all over for a feast.

One quail equals one fart. Three quail is a large meal
