I have to try the bhuna — it is a dish that (like chicken chat) has mutated so badly over the decades that I can barely recognise most instances of it today ...

Good for you Phil, but don’t think Doordash will fly a vindaloo to Chicago ...
So long as it's labelled "Guaranteed kosher — made in Israel", there shouldn't be a problem  :smile:

[OT, but relevant] — There are two Indian restaurants in Lostwithiel (Cornwall), and I received poor feedback on one of them when it first opened, so have stuck to the other ever since.  However, my wife had occasion to eat in the one on which I had received poor feedback, and told me I should try it — "the chicken curry is excellent", she said.  And she was right.  Eating Moonlight Tandoori’s chicken curry was not only like going back to the seventies, it was like going back to the seventies and finding that it had improved since I was last there.  A chicken curry to die for — I have now vowed to give up buying the Co-op’s chicken rogan josh (which is a d@mned good supermarket curry) and just stock up with T/A chicken curries from Moonlight Tandoori.  Run by an elderly and exceptionally friendly Indian couple, this restaurant is going right to the top of my list of recommendations.  Give it a try if ever you find yourself in Lostwithiel.

Those that have been cleanly head-shot will be roasted; any that are suspect will be casseroled in red wine after careful evisceration and cleaning.

Many thanks, T63.  I will not collect them today (too late to do anything useful with them once I have finished bowling this evening) but will collect, ascertain how long since shot, and proceed on that basis.  If hung further, it will be in a friend’s shed, so cool ambient but not chilled, so maybe only for a day or so if that.

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Freshly-shot pheasant — advice sought.

My wife's hotel has just been gifted four brace of freshly-shot pheasant, and I have been asked to "do the necessary".  I know that they need to be hung, but for how long ?  I have improvised with road-kill pheasants in the past, and of course have cooked pre-hung, drawn and plucked pheasants, but never had to deal with multiple pheasants all requiring the full process.  All advice welcome.

Many thanks, T63, much appreciated.  The fact that the hooves are sharp had struck me as one reason, but I did not consider the fact that they add to the weight of the carcase, not did I think about checking for foot-and-mouth disease.

Very surprised, Livo.  The beast, as first pictured by T63, had been gutted (removing the gralloch on the spot is normal practice when hunting deer) but appeared otherwise  unmutilated, although the head may have been removed (it is not possible to tell from the angle of the photograph).  So to see the feet deliberately removed hit me in the stomach — it literally made me feel sick.  Of course when T63 comes to butcher the carcase he will remove the feet, and all the other inedible (to westerners) parts, and that is perfectly normal, but to find that they had been removed before the carcase ever reached T63 came as a shock.  As to your analogies, I have bought whole rabbits (with feet), whole pheasants (with feet), whole hens (with feet) and so on — I have never bought a whole lamb, so cannot comment there.  But if one were buying a whole calf (something I deplore, but let’s not go there), then if the feet are not present how can the purchaser make calfs’/calves’ foot jelly ?

I realise that he was dead, I fully appreciate that he could no longer feel pain, I know that he was destined to be eaten, but why did someone find it necessary to cut off his feet ?  I am confident that it wasn't mutilation for mutilation’s sake, but to my mind it does convey a sad lack of respect for a once noble creature ...
