| | | Recipes for Woodcock?
We've got a lovely brace of Woodcock for tea.
Does anyone know any nice recipes for them?
Nothing fancy.
Thanks.

Yep,
Got this one from Wales on a Shoot:-
Gut it and pluck it, stuff it with a small potato using it's beak to sew it up, roast in the oven with a red wine cook in sauce, keep basting it.
Throw the woodcock away and eat the potato. 
Max.

Hi Doug,
On a more serious note, try googling, and pick the easiest recipe, good answers for lots of things, but you'll need to shop for another 10 expensive ingrediants to complete a most of the recipes.

Don't want to put you off your dinner... but did you know that Woodcocks are "amber" status on the RSPB site? Numbers have fallen in last few years due to lack of habitat.
However we do get a lot coming over from Russia... so maybe they are Ruskies!
I'd love to see one, let alone eat one.
Bon appetit....  |

I used to take groups to watch them roding in Bucks, but re:the two that I've got for supper - I was led to believe these were east coast visitors Tigger, by someone from that neck of the woods, that I trust absolutely - so I hope so.
Thanks for the info anyway though...

Woodcocks are quite rare actually and they are amber status on the RSPB site.  Maybe you should think about eating pigeon or pheasant instead? | | | |
