Dartmoor 5 ! The Wrap Up Warm Tour !

[savagebushcraft]

Erm..i think I got it lol. I'll charge the walkies up ready, and we can leave one somewhere up top. I have two more that will operate on the same frequency too, so could have a back up at both locations, just in case the cold kills the batteries.

Any opinions on us bringing a cockerel for Saturday lunch? From Richs flock. Can be brought in any preference of live through to fully prepared.... Wondered if anyone who hasn't done such things wanted to be involved in the dispatching, plucking, gutting process? Please say if this would offend/upset and you'd rather not have this on the weekend

Hi Jon, excuse ignorance is it a capon ? I am happy to despach , pluck etc or if someone else would rather just as happy to observe or share duties , also is this a Dutch oven job or skewered rotis style ?
Finally if anyone is not happy with any of the suggested event , please state , and we wont .

Ivan...

 

[jonajuna]

No capon just feathers on. Dutch oven is ideal if one is free else will bring chicken brick

I bagsie the hackle feathers!

Chuck-chuck cooked in the Dutch oven with a forcemeat stuffing made with the giblets! Yum!

Of course I won't be able to do the cooking if I'm sat in my kiosk with my dayglo jacket on taking out my bad temper (caused by a painful leg) on all the punters. Been practicing my lines though, 'Oye, you! You can't put it there mate. It's more than me job's worth for me to let you leave it in an acre of clear space where you aren't in anybody's way.'

 

[jonajuna]

In seriousness, not a capon, it's as nature intended, about 6 months old, so won't feed the 5000 though all welcome to try some, but due to being male, organic, virtually free range and allowed to do what cocks do best... The meat is much more gamey than most are used to. Hence not to everyone's liking. I've had his cocks filling me before, so will forgoe a share so more for others.

Plenty of feathers and fluffing for everyone

*ponders if he can squeeze in any more double entendres into the post

Maybe a drive-in meet, where Badg' rolls the landy across the marsh, parks up, winds the window down, and giggles occasionally?

 

[Ivan...]
