Whatcha Making for Supper?

Chuck roast… woodchuck to be exact, one I hit on way home from work. Likely would have had a raccoon roast over the weekend if I didn’t have the woodchuck already. Trapped one today not 20ft from my cockerel pen.

Like woodchuck - especially young ones. Do NOT like raccoon.

The third time (one) was a charm.
Yesterday I processed my first three rooster quail and grilled two of them. And they were not good at all.

Today I fried the third one and it was delicious.

So put me in the camp of resting your freshly processed quail before thinking about eating or freezing them.

Along with some parsley potatoes.

I just need to dial in the oil temp for such fast cooking things. Maybe real breading instead of corn starch next time. But I am happy. Big improvement from last night. Which is why I didn't report in

I think the raccoon would have been tastier than this woodchuck, it was a massive nursing momma (I feel bad for the babies but a car tire doesn’t discriminate). Usually the meat tends to be pretty light, much like squirrel or chicken but this one was darker than usual. Not unpalatable or tough but I’ve had better. I think the chickens will get most the left overs.
