Bit more skint than usual this year, so popped out the thursday before x-mas and rounded up a pheasant.
Never eaten it before, but removed the breasts and roasted them wrapped in bacon, served with all the normal veggies.
Very nice and it will be repeated, soon

Woodcock starters and venison in sherry sauce to follow, Need to figure out how to shoot a pudding for next year to do all 3 courses.

Well we had turkey, for two reasons,

1. My wife likes turkey and she only gets the chance to eat it once a year,
2. She said we can have venison, and do, whenever we want anytime of the year

That looks the dogs! Think this is one of the best ways to serve loin of venison and makes it go further since the pastry and duxelles is quite rich.
