Nice

Chucking on my flameproof jacket for this one. I don't eat meat and usually pretty sceptical of 'fake' meat but my housemate makes seitan in a variety of different textures and flavours (it's made from wheat gluten) and it's genuinely amazing. Used it to do homemade donner kebabs with sriracha mayo

Did you pluck it etc? Plenty of pheasant out here. I’m keen to blast a few only for food and a bit of sport. Not so keen to do the messy part.

Honestly - the "icky" part is a few minutes of being determined. That's all. Surprisingly easy once you've done it. Not even terribly "smelly". Job done and you are cooking. Rite of passage stuff, maybe, but honestly not much of a challenge.

I've started messing about trying to make decent seitan, if your housemate can offer any tips or recipes it would be appreciated.

if you lay the bird on his back, stand on it's wings then with a firm grip pull the legs up.....Then cut off the wings and you 'should' get a nice clean carcass.

That's how we do it...Takes not time.

I don't see the point in prepping a whole pigeon, I just cut the breast meat out.

Surf n turf, Lobster n mash and prawn n scallop kebabs. It looked a lot better in real life and the right way up, but the lighting was terrible!

small tip on food photography - don't use the flash. Just take without, and then raise the light level and balance by editing. You can edit the shadow created by flash but you likely won't get it to where it needs to be. Unless you really are in a pitch black restaurant of course, in which case you might want to just give it a miss unless you have an SLR with you!

Jon the seitan appreciation society on Facebook. Loads of links to good recipes on there and plenty of people posting tips on how to get it right.

Have you ever tried 'Chicken of the Woods'? It's a mushroom, and would fool many that it's chicken. It's delicious, and has a firm meaty texture. Worth a try if you can find any or see it on a menu somewhere.

A little ravioli, part of some nice tapas-ish scran including some very nice calamari and roasted parmesan sprouts.

I haven't, no. Presume it's not easy to buy? Could maybe try growing it? Cheers for the recommendation.
