"It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good!"

[Ratae]

EXAMPLE!....The ill wind that propelled my ammo at about 800fps into the heads of several woodies recently,has also had the good fortune of furnishing Mrs. B.Lackbird,who is making a home in my privet hedge,with a nice soft carpet for her new residence. When the unfortunate woodies tumbled from my tree,they naturally shed a few of their soft downy plumage onto my lawn,seeing this...Mrs.B.Lackbird took the opportunity to "feather her own nest" so to speak!

Also...the other someone that the ill wind benefited was me... in the guise of this delicious woody stroganoff that I've
just scoffed for my dinner!

WOODY STROGANOFF

breasts of 2 woodpigeon cut into long 20mm thick strips
1/2 400gm tin of chopped tomatoes
1 medium onion sliced not diced
1 red pepper sliced not diced
1 tbsp of paprika
1 oz of butter
142 ml carton of sour cream
A handful of chopped parsley

1 - Gently sweat the onions and pepper in the butter for 2 minutes then add the paprika and cook until onions are soft.

2 - Increase the heat and when it starts to sizzle add the pigeon strips and fry until all sides are sealed.

3 - Add the tinned tomatoes a little at a time so the pan doesn`t cool too much then add 1/2 the soured cream a little at a time.

4 - Check the pigeon strips are cooked to the doneness you like then throw in the parsley stir and serve with rice and a dollop of sour cream on top. Delicious!!!!!



As the man sez..."Its an ill wind etc etc etc!!!!!!!!!!

for any of us who don't happen to have a gun handy, the recipe would work very well with a nice chicken breast
