How funny we have had pheasant for tea. We have given up plucking even though Harry passed his Young Farmers test in his youth. He just puts a knife along the breast bone & cuts the bread out bypassing the need for plucking. Might be easier! The same with the legs & peel the skin off with the feathers!
must admit I prefer my pheasants live ! i often see one on the way work strolling down the middle of a suburban road here in Croydon! I have named him Phillip i get such buzz seeing him he is very beautiful and in the middle of a town I am amazed he has survived.
MM! lucky you. If I have the pleasure of these magnificent creatures I have started to skin as it is easier. Lovely recipes with breast and pheasant soup with the rest. delicious.
