Continuing with chicken-like things with capers. I've never tried to
hunt them as they weigh less than half a pound each.

It took me a little while to see that you were talking about the protein ingredient in the recipe you posted:-}}

Title: Burnetts Woodcock
Categories: British, Poultry, Game, Offal, Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings

4 Woodcock, properly hung

"Properly hung" seems to be a British thing. The man that was my boss
for much of my career had a tale he liked to tell about the British meat
shops. He said that he went past one in mid November and saw a turkey
being hung by its neck in the open air. His first thought was "hey
look, they are aging a turkey for Thanksgiving". His second thought was
a face palm when he realized that they don't do Thanksgiving -- that was
to be a Christmas turkey.

I'm not sure if that story was made up or not -- but it sounds
plausible. It fits in with the fact that Gail and I would cross the
street rather than walk in front of a butcher shop with all of their
meats being hung.

I think that the potato / meat ratio is off in this recipe. By weight,
ten times as much potato as turkey.

"Properly hung" seems to be a British thing / mid November
saw a turkey being hung by its neck in the open air / they
don't do Thanksgiving -- that was to be a Christmas turkey.
I'm not sure if that story was made up or not -- but it sounds
plausible.

I'd say that's unlikely. A young domestic bird needs little or no
aging compared to an elderly game bird. Here's an article that
separates fact from fiction . Note the various temperatures vs. the
time something is hung.

Having said that the hunters in my family, my BIL Matthew and my
step son Ray, rarely age or hang wild birds here. It's too cold
outside and too warm inside and neither one has an extra fridge just
for that purpose. But then we do tend to stew or braise and not roast
them most of them.

I think that the potato / meat ratio is off in this recipe. By
weight, ten times as much potato as turkey.

Well the smoked turkey, like the bacon, adds just a touch of
flavouring almost a garnish to the baked potatoes. I don't know why
they called it a club sandwich though. And I'm amused that 24
potatoes makes 21 helpings1

The story my boss gave may well have been exhagerated, but I have
observed birds and primal cuts being hung in the open air of British
meat markets. To my nose (weak as it is) they did not smell good.

I'll take a look at that. Thanks.
