Easter lunch - I'm planning to make an Easter Bunny pie, but need to source me some wild rabbit. Any ideas where I may lay hands on such a thing? William Rose only have farmed. I could order online, but I'd end up paying as much for the delivery as I would for the meat itself.


Also, any genius ideas on a vegetarian pie for two that feels festive, and will still go with whatever sides I decide on for the rabbit pie?


Oh, and lastly, how do I make vegetarian roast potatoes delicious? Any advance on olive oil, rosemary, garlic?

H has it.

Barring that bung them in hot tray and generous splurge of cold olive oil is fine as, let's face it, oven doesn't need to get that hot.

Presimmer your garlic in milk to sweeten and roast for about 45m-1hr depending on clove size.

Good sprinkle of crushed salt too.


Wild rabbit. A bloke with wellies and shotgun is probably your best bet.

Did you know that every time vegetarians take a breath they're breathing at least two molecules of the last breath a porker took in an abbatoir?


How must that feel when they won't even eat food that has been touched by a utensil that once touched meat?


*shakes head sorrowfully*

Furness at Borough Mkt can get wild rabbit.


Rapeseed oil with added sage, rosemary and sea salt for crisp tatties.


For the vegemalarians do a hearty portobello mushroom type pie topped with thinly sliced parsnips brushed with truffle oil... it may taste like crap but they won't complain as you have gone to so much trouble ;-)

Curtain's Classic Dry Roasted Spuds



Par-boil some chunky spuds until nearly soft through with 2-3 cracked but not skinned cloves of garlic in the salted water.

Drain off, but be careful as they are delicate when hot. Turn out onto a couple of plates and leave somewhere to cool well

( this firms them up & alters the starch structure in the spud )


Take a pan and heat olive/rapeseed oil mix until hot. Place the spuds in batches in a large bowl with some of the hot oil in the bottom, drizzle the oil over the top and then gently toss them ( this coats and roughens them ) I also scatter some rosemary over them at this stage


A light twist of salt & pepper


Take a baking flat covered in heavy baking paper/sheet ( screw it up, then pull it out flat-ish so it catches any loose oil in the crinkles ) and bake/dry roast the spuds in a hot fan oven at 210 ish.


They roast to a really golden but light/crispy outer ( and virtually oil free )


In fact, they are heavenly.



Rabbit


Look up the Kent Game Dealer who trades at Brockley Market.

He'll shoot you some Rabbit or Hare to order.


Veggie Pie.


Make a short pastry crust case with a herbed/cheese Veggie suet cobbler top.


Pre-roast a chunky selection of carrots, Butternut & the blue skinned squash, with banana shallots thyme & garlic until firm but not yet ready. A little balsamic works well here.


Leave the veg to cool


Grilled mushrooms add intense flavour


Make the liquid with pearl barley cooked in a good veg stock like Kallo until thick and glossy ( carrot, celery, onion & bay )


Add ale or a little sherry, a little cayenne heat maybe


Assemble, glaze and bake the pie



Other than that....dunno



Netts:-S

Tell me about it. I think it was just after the little man had managed to scream me awake. Otherwise he's a bonny baby. Looks a bit like Eric Pickles!


Braise it in cider with herbs and veg and then whisk in cream and mustard at the end. Maybe some tarragon.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
