Frann 882 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 This sounds great Ingredients: 1 Woodcock Fat bacon 3 slices White bread; crusts removed 1/2 oz Foie gras S&p 1 pinch Grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon Cognac or Armagnac 8 Grapes; peeled, seeded Directions: Pluck the woodcock but do not gut it. Truss it, bard it with fat bacon, and spit-roast it over or next to a hot fire for 18-20 min. Remove the entrails and discard all but the intestines. Meanwhile, fry the bread in the dripping pan or else separately in butter. Mince the intestines with foie gras and season this with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and brandy. Spread 2 of the slices of bread, halved, with this mixture and sprinkle a little more pepper over. Gratiner this in a very hot oven for a few minutes. Serve the woodcock atop the third piece of fried bread, with the 4 half-slices of bread around. Garnish with grapes and serve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Weird...I've taken snipe and found them to be the same size as our mourning doves. So I dressed them out the same way. Love to hunt and eat snipe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
