Ok - I was right about it being in The Observer - as a quick google for 'recipe squirrel observer' gave me the right result immediately! :D

It's for squirrel pasties! :cool: :D

Right up your street fran, as I know you have the patience for pastry making (unlike me, although obviously pre-made would do)!

How to make squirrel pasties
Kevin Viner's recipe for two pasties

140g squirrel meat cut into 1cm cubes;

100g sliced potato; 100g sliced swede; 50g diced onion; 30g smoked bacon;

15g chopped hazelnuts; 75g butter;

5g chopped parsley; a good pinch of salt and pepper

Method

· Egg wash edges of pastry circles.

· Place the potato, swede, hazelnuts, parsley and seasoning on to each circle followed by the bacon, squirrel meat and, finally, the onion.

· Place butter in each pasty, then fold over the pastry and crimp the edges.

· Put the pasties on to a greaseproof baking tray, egg wash both pasties well, place in a pre-heated oven at 180C or gas mark 5.

· Bake for 45-50 minutes. The juices should start to boil and the pasties should be able to move on the tray with ease.

FROM HERE

You'll see that he also recommends...

Southern fried squirrel is good. And tandoori style works. It is especially tasty fricasséed with Cornish cream and walnuts.

...and...

...my huntsman swears by squirrel with sausage meat and bacon

The author of that piece has it down as a lamb/duck cross btw...which makes it sound even MORE appealing to me! :D
 
Rabbit has a more gamey flavour than squirrel. I prefer the taste of squirrel. Although to be honest, I doubt I'll be buying it again - too little meat. Thanks for the recipe though :D
 
Sausage, hash browns and eggs with a veg kebab thrown in for health measures.

Everyone else had iceland chicken kebabs earlier.

I miss the old sunday dinner but we don't seem to do it anymore. It just makes a real mess and we have lots of work to do on sunday as it stands. A bigger kitchen and a dishwasher would help but that never stopped me great grandma doing what we would regard as a 'sunday dinner' every day of the week.

Must work on it as I used to really go balls out on the sunday cooking. Maybe make a routine of it again although it's not like we dont often eat around the table together as it is, it's just the bollocks we are eating since chicken went through the roof in price. Delia Smith's comments on chicken are becoming a serious issue. At the minute i belive my chicken ready meals come from brazil but it's better than no meat which could become a real possibilty in the future. It's far cheaper to buy ready made than fresh meat it's ridiculous.
 
Pesto pasta, black olives, parmesan

And another half a box of those skinny little twiggy chocolatey things, with orange in them

Chocolate is off my menu at da mo' :( I've begun to eat rather healthily as I'd sneaked (scoffed) my way back up to just under 14 stone and I'm only 5 foot 10 and 1/3.

Tonight, altho' I'm having beef sausages I'm not having my usual cheddar/bread/pasta (well.. am having wholemeal pasta (1 handful)) with them, I'm gonna have a cottage cheese, apple and avacado salad with them instead.

For snack later (I'm smoking hash) I shall have strawberries as opposed to cupcakes or any sweet tooth treat.

:( I could never resist the lure of choccy after tea. I blame it on years of not having pudding when I was a kid. Can't blame it on lack of self-control can I? ;)

Can't you just exercise more? That's what I do!
 
Stepping that up too soj', I get loads anyway as I do a tremendous ammount of walking and physical graft, I just don't want to shovel anymore shit into me too often.

Fags next, and my metamorphisis will be complete :cool:
