Parrot Pie
Discovering in an australian cookbook that australians eat parrots has caused a conceptual crisis in my cultural understanding of BBQ side dishes
Parrot Pie
6 Servings
12 small parrots
1 few slices of beef,Cooked
4 rashes bacon
3 hard-boiled eggs
1 parsley & lemon-peel,Minced
1 pepper and salt
1 stock
1 puff pastry
Line a pie-dish with the beef cut into slices, over them place 6 of
the paraqueets, dredge with flour, fill up the spaces with egg cut in
slices and scatter over the seasoning. Next put the bacon, cut in
small strips, then 6 paraqueets and fill up with the beef, seasoning
as well. Pour in stock or water to nearly fill the dish, cover with
puff-pastry and bake for 1 hour.
Does anyone eles have any odd recipes?

Re: Parrot Pie
We had Kangaroo, whilst on our trip to Classic Le Mans. Not bad really, considering we didn't have a clue how it was going to be served.
Our French is a little ropey we asked what was on the Plat de Jour and the waitress said Skippy and did an impression.

Re: Parrot Pie
Some of the conversations were a bit like that, the Parrot sketch was relived one drunken evening.
I had a brilliant conversation with a Butcher in the local Super U. I spoke English, he spoke French and we both used sign language to sort out my kilo of Sausages and our trip to Le Mans and Porsches. We chatted for about 15 minutes which was great fun, he was a cracking guy.

Re: Parrot Pie
In Dresden last year at a 5 star hotel we were all ordering & the waitress was trying to get over that one item had been changed. With my dodgy German & various mimes we established it was young deer. I referred to it as Bambi & she laughed and agreed. When it was ordered in the kitchen it was a Bambi steak & when it arrived she referred to as Bambi!Sean Smallman wrote:We had Kangaroo, whilst on our trip to Classic Le Mans.

PS She was quite fit as well....

Re: Parrot Pie
Try this for a menu, Kangaroo and Crocodile steaks with Emu Sausages. You buy the meat and than cook it yourself on a hot plate. Only bad thing it's at Ayers Rock.

So even the French can't get hold of camel then, flogging you the old kangaroo instead.Sean Smallman wrote:We had Kangaroo, whilst on our trip to Classic Le Mans.
Well I was told in Norfolk in one restaurant that they just can't get camel anymore. Zebra was no problem though..
