Done with my planning for next week's London trip. Should be very cool; it'll be (believe it or not) my first overseas vacation alone.

T, you should change your flight arrangements and join us in the Turks and Caicos Islands! We arrive Tuesday. [:)]

In case you can't get that done, what is on your agenda for the week in Merry Olde England?

But which one?

Patton! [8D]

I prefer his choice... Battle of Britain is one of my all time favorites.

I have an interesting recipe from a farmer that deals with soaking said game in condensed milk overnight, then frying.... he claims the "gamey" taste is completely gone...need to try it this fall.

Friend of mine, next door, gave me a bag of 16 pheasant breasts after one of his hunts. Finally defrosted them and marinated them in a decent Port (Fonseca, Bin 27), garlic, onion, bay leaves and cardomom. Will slow grill half, and serve with wild rice, greens and an Italian salad. Other half, I'll slow smoke to 80% done and give to folks hereabouts.

Had pheasant back in Cali that were marinated in Port and they were good. Also like pheasant straight up. Like dove straight up. Like wild duck straight up. Like damn near anything ya shoot, straight up, except for big mammals; deer and goats, and such ought to hang for two days, moose and bears ought to hang for four days. After that, marinade makes it tender and pulls the gaminess out. There's a reason the Germans invented sauerbraten; and why God invented wine/vinegar and onions and piquant spices.

Working on The Big One first.

I've never had pheasant, John, but I loves me some sauerbraten!  As a kid, I lived in my great aunt's house, whose parents immigrated from Germany.  Now I'm hungry!  [8D]

It'll be a week of nerd tourism. In no particular order:

HMS Belfast
The Cabinet War Rooms
Greenwich (The National Maritime Museum, The Prime Meridian, etc.)
Imperial War Museum
British Museum
Victoria and Albert Museum

Would have liked to go to Duxford, but alas, 'tis outside my means.

Maybe next time? I've not been to Duxford in ages, back before I joined the RAF. Now it's even more uncool than before for me to go to an air museum [:D] I did go to East Kirkby to see Jane fired up mind [8D]

Yeah, Mike. It's a bit like birds in general. Marinade it in a good Port wine for a couple days to get rid of the gamy flavor, and get them wicked good ring compounds working for ya. There's a reason people say use good stuff. It's like, chemistry. God invented sauerbraten. And he was pretty smart. And that's why things tend to work.

HooYaaaaah. John

Morning tithe... Did I ever tell you guys, that I live five minutes drive from the New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum http://www.nzfpm.co.nz/ Also that the aircraft fly over our home all the time, guess I'm spoilt as I've only been there three times.

Mrs DivePac is a Chef, so I eat really well, and get some very fancy meals I can tell you. But one of my favourite meals is good-old Bangers-and-mash with a good rich gravy, and don't get me started on the pleasures of Fish-in-chips.

Our Thanksgiving tradition is to try a new exotic meat. Pheasant, elk, buffalo, quail...the old brain fails to remember them all. Always tasty.

Furthermore, the "USC" logo on the cap looks entirely unlike the only appropriate "USC" logo on a cap-for the University of Southern California.

We had it first.

You want a Gamecock shirt.....say the word (and the size).

You cannot beat bangers and mash with a nice pint of Guiness.
