Pheasants

[Merlot]

At about 10.00am this morning, there were 5 pheasants foraging in the area of uncut field south of the tennis courts on the Hayling College field. It was a lovely sight. I expect that we'll hear the sound of guns soon from Tournerbury Farm.

I must admit that I do like pheasant in port wine sauce. I roast the bird first, then pick off all the flesh and casserole it in port and shallots. Yum!

How long have you been a vegan Divvy?

[tenchgirl]

phesants are minging especially when i have to dig them out of front grille of me car

Ealier this year there were often one of two pheasants in the garden outside my study; beautiful creatures, and I was often sore tempted to have one for the pot, but decided not to. You can get as close as 2 metres from them and they will almost eat out of your hand.

Lovely creatures!

Im not a vegan just a vegetable
In case you were wondering I was refering to the other thread too about some miscreant shooting cows with an air rifle

I often see a brace of pheasants crossing the road when I go to work in the early (for me) hours. and yes beautiful birds especially cooked with apricots and red wine (port wine and shallots sounds yummy too)
