I got 2 cheap in Tesco last night and i'm going to cook one for dinner later, but i've never had one before.

So i'll probably roast it but i'm not sure how long, and what will the flesh be like once it's cooked, does it stay red and how gamey is it.

And advice is welcome, thanks

I'd be tempted to joint it (like a chicken) shove in a pot with fried shallots, root veg and red wine and slow cook in oven

Have you got a pear tree?

Ah Ha!






Stew it

A partridge or a Partridge? If the former cook it, if the latter put it back on the multi-coloured bus before it starts singing.

damn as soon as I saw the title I was coming in the thread just to say that

Edit: I can be constructive too Here are two recipes for Partrige 1 and 2

I do worship BBCGoodFood

like a coq-au-vin.... but with partridge!

Snap! I also thought of the pear tree angle - but thought I had to be constructive here...........

Hands-up who saw the title and opened the thread intending to make a witty remark about Pear Trees!

... my hand is up btw.

My hand is up and I am still chuckling at the joke

Thanks, i saw this too late for one of the blighters, might try this with the other one.


They look good. Partridge, tasty, but food for munchkins i think.


. You've wrecked my thread mate.

Put it in a pear tree..
