  • Any particular reason to bother with whole pheasants for Christmas dinner for 4, when I could just buy breast fillets and pan fry them in five minutes?

    I have been conditioned to think roast dinner means sticking great big things in the oven, considering branching out this time though

    No. No need to go all fancy. Go for the easy option and forget oven juggling. Bonus - no leftovers too.

  • cooking phesant on the bone is a safer option as it is pretty nasty when over but if you’ve a nice light touch I don’t see why not. Suppose theres something nice about the carving of a whole thing?

  • The only vaguely edible bit of a pheasant is the breast. Partridge is much nicer, wrap it in bacon and pan fry, serve with a mushroom sauce.
