I need a new idea for November.

Have you done sushi yet?

Have you done sushi yet?

Oh aye. I love it. Even the cheap supermarket stuff.

I plumped for some foie gras online. Get it over and done with! No more wondering.

Durian? Assuming you can get it.

Ants, camel, crocodile, rattlesnake, scorpions... they even do ostrich egg ice cream.

Foie gras was enjoyable, but it was very rich, even the relatively small amount I ended up with was enough. I didn't realise it was basically pat

We recently got a bread maker and having been trying lots of different loaves. Nice to be able to cut decent thick doorstep slices rather than supermarket 'thick sliced' rubbish.

one of the better gadgets that end up at the back of cupboard.

I don'talways use it to make loaves, but dough, which I then use to make stuff with.

What with all the snow and stuff, I forgot all about this...

Hmm.

[hindle xiii]

Swordfish maybe.

Perhaps even something as simple as fennel. Although I don't like aniseed flavour! So perhaps not.

I can't wait for next year when I'll get back on red meat, I've got my eye on trying rabbit as well as more unusual meats like ostrich, etc.

[hindle xiii]

A prickly pear maybe.

[hindle xiii]

I saw they have whole gurnard in Morrisons.

Kedgeree from memory is rice, curry powder, smoked fish, boiled eggs, parsley and cream....plus maybe one or two other bits. Very nice if done properly

when I've made it I just used turmeric, not curry powder. It complements the smoked fish better.

Kedgeree is one of those dished that you can't stop shovelling down. I love the stuff.

Rabbits good,so is ostrich, both need careful cooking though

Rabbits lovely, used to eat a lot when I was young, not had it for years

[BULLETT]

This recipe serves the same purpose , warms the house and warms the soul, if you cook the shanks for 4-6 hours. I hope the link works.

Rabbit is best cooked slowly in a stew type reciepe rather than grilling or frying IMHO. Had it at many a scout camp and loved it.

Never tried Rabbit. Saw Rabbit Stifaso at a Tapas Restaurant in Halifax the other week but it wasn't on the early bird menu so I didn't have it!!!!!

I'm cooking xmas dinner and am dying to cook Goose or Quail but I don't think anyone will appreciate it as it's not what we usually have on xmas day.

We nearly had goose last year, they had frozen geese in Lidl, at a good price, but we chickened out and had turkey (geddit) It's all the fat you get with goose that worries me, and will there be enough, or it there's too much what to do with the residue. I even bought a gravy separator to deal with the fat, but didn't need it.

I used to work with a bloke who shot pheasant. I went for a weekend to Holland and brought back 400 duty free cigs and swapped him for a brace of pheasant. We cooked them wrapped in bacon, but they came out dry and tasteless, and full of lead shot. Never been tempted again.

I killed a pheasant cleanly once, with the front axle of a Transit tipper. Broke its neck with not a mark on it. It fed four of us.

[Steve May]

Sometimes you need to keep it simple.

Peel and chop some apples, chop and stone some plums, chuck 'em in a pan with some sugar, some cinnamon and some lemon juice and let them soften. Have a smell of it. Divine.

Butter, sugar, flour, make some crumble up.

All into a dish, into the oven. Wait till it browns, then eat the lot with custard.

Marvellous.

I braised the breasts in cider with shallots and chorizo and some garlic.

served with minted new potatoes, very tasty, very sweet, very moist.
