Lobster

[pippins1]

Can anyone advise me on how to cook fresh lobster please.
Many thanks

Last time bought pheasant was from a farmer...2 for £5

[tonyav]

Well he is famous for something, don't know what though.

[tonyav]

Did you have to pick the buck shot out though ummmm ?

[ummmm]

I was warned about it.

I didn't actually cook them. I put them in the freezer and from the freezer they went in the bin. I've stilled never tried pheasant!!

ps..not straight in the bin. I didn't know how long I could keep them for so didn't risk it.

pheasant is delish - if it is not overcooked and allowed to rest before serving......cheap round here too - we just go out in cars in twos - one knocks em over, the other picks up....

joking but that does go on, we pay the same as ummmm, maybe even a quid cheaper in full season.

up to six months, ummmm

"And I don't know where you get the idea that pheasant is expensive, most people I know struggle to give it away. " I wonder why, precisely my point. Anyhow, the chef doesn't come into the equation. I don't need no bleedin' "chef" (cook to the others) to enjoy a nice bit of roast beef, shoulder of lamb or even a bacon sarnie if it comes to that. The sole role of a "chef" is to make expensive sauces designed to give some kind of flavour to what would normally be regarded as tasteless and near-inedible. Oh, and charge you through the nose for the privilege.

Is he a famous cook, tony?



Cook a typo?

[tonyav]

Thought you had to hang them up until ripe ?

[ummmm]

That's what I thought Tony. These were just in a container similar to supermarkets.

I really don't know what your point was Mike, my point was that pheasant is cheap and plentiful and at the right time of year is so plentiful that it is given away for free.

The rest of your post is twaddle IMHO.

Foor those still interested in lobster, this interesting tid-bit from the Sunday Morning news here in the former provinces:

[ummmm]

I agree Ecckles. My OH can't even cut an onion let alone make a fancy meal.

[DTCwordfan]

Good in pies and casseroles too.......pheasant that is.

[humbersloop]

I don't hang the ones we get - eat 'em on the day/ day after they've been shot. Pheasants that is, not lobster...

[friedgreentomato]

I simply adore lobster but it must be eaten fresh with a little garlic mayo and nothing else mmmmmm

[ummmm]

They are on my 'must eat' list.

[ummmm]

Pheasants that is...

[tonyav]

Never seen them in containers ummmm, I've only seen them hanging up in butchers shops and such like.

Venison is also delic I marinate in redwine and port for 24 hours then roast, pheasant I am not so keen on found it a bit gamey for me.
