did you cook the eggs in the pan that you did the steak in?

[Moonshiner]

Sure did! Buttery steaky eggs

[BrabusMog]

Eggs fried in butter usually gives a really good result in my experience.

[Moonshiner]

Yes. Deep bottomed or cast iron pan and basted in butter are the best

Monday roast. 53.5 Sainsbury's Irish topside.

In all the fluff I didn't photograph my Sunday roast effort. I bought a Rib Eye roast from my local butcher. Goose fat spuds and yorkshires. It was the best roast I've ever eaten. Nice and pink like yours! 35 quid off a 4 person roast, think it was 1.9 kg so should be good. Browned in a LAN, covered in English mustard, 45 mins oven

[Pferdestarke]

Sounds good.

Mine was gravity-defying.

Amazing.
Truly envious here.

Simple to cook

Not easy to shoot

+50 man points for doing so though.

The dressed bird is about the size of your fist. They were minimally wounded and no shot found in them.

Cooked as I did it's a reasonable main course portion - game is quite filling and the innards on toast is really satisfying - like a rich pate.

I didn't shoot these birds myself but usually drop a bird or two in the course of a season.

West Wales and Ireland have enough birds to have dedicated woodcock shooting and in that case 7s or 8s would be about right

I see woodcock when I'm pheasant shooting they get whatever is loaded up. 30g 6s or 32g 5s later in the season.
