mark01856 7 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 mark! You can just take out the breasts if you don't want to pluck.... I am being serious though!!! P.S. Cooking it in a lot of red wine always helps stop it from drying out!! cheers foxy, i think i will still pluck it, should i do it tonight, i got it last night, i just dont know how long to leave it. and i was already planning on cooking it in lots of red wine cheers : Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mark01856 7 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Alternatively...bugger the pheasant and steep yourself in the wine... well yea, that could work, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
