What To Eat Now

Is anyone watching 'What to Eat Now' on BBC 2 on Monday nights, with Valentine Warner?
I only discovered the first episode by accident and now I'm hooked. I love his rural 'antics' and his recipes. I think he's a top notch presenter as well. A decent bloke.

Regards, Chris

I find him annoying and fascinating in equal measure and I have caught most of his programs so far and have been left feeling inspired by every one of them!!

I'm going to check out the local butcher's for partridge I think!!

I think the programme is very good and some of the recipes are excellent. He, however really annoys me. He obviously loves his food but do I need to see his food when he's talking, No!

Anyone tried any of the beetroot dishs yet?

Ha ha. I know what you mean. He's a bit of a gannet for sure.

Sorry, I don't know how to put two quotes in one message

It's usually reasonably cheap compared to a lot of game Gill. Tasty too. I once spent a fortune on a rather scrawny looking Woodcock. The partridge was much cheaper and every bit as good.

Don't forget pigeon too, if your local butchers doesn't sell partridge have a look in your local waitrose, I saw fresh prepared pigeon and partridge as well as grouse in one of my local ones at the weekend.

I love Wood Pigeon, it's possibly my favourite game (or then again, it might be hare? Mmm not sure). I've never had grouse and really must get hold of a brace sometime.
