      I had a friend when I lived in Yorkshire, about 35 years ago, whose father had a freezer full of roadkill. I once had a fantastic roast at his house, comprising of roadkill pheasant and partridge.
      There were a lot of small lanes near where he lived, and pheasant (which are notoriously dim), often got killed by passing vehicles.
      The rules in the UK about roadkill are simple: if you hit and kill say, a pheasant, then you are not allowed to stop and pick it up. The next vehicle along though, can collect it. (So long as you weren't driving a road roller, and it needs to be scraped up with a fish slice).🤔 😆😆😆

  • @AJMansfield1
    @AJMansfield1 Год назад +8

    I'm sure your seasoning procedure was well enough, but there's a certain poetry to the idea of taking it further, cooking that stew dry and burning it completely to ash. A ritual, a blessing for the new cooking pot as it takes it place -- a place of honor even, to a man of the iron age: sat over the hearth fire that has kept his father and their fathers before them warm and fed, where the family gods sit, looking over all those he holds dear. It couldn't do, to merely _eat_ the first meal of a new pot; it's for the gods alone to judge, and when the gods judge the meal worthy, when the pot remains rather than being split asunder as so many lesser pots would be, that, truly, is a cause for celebration.

    Scambating and crafting makes me think that when Shrimp was a young lad he met an older version of himself who told him that he would get sent back in time to the Bronze age so he had to be ready.

I have learned along the way and experienced first hand some of the same challenges that you did. Several attempts cracked during the drying process and I am expecting maybe a 50% failure rate during firing. I am planning on doing my firing 10 days from now. Wish me luck.
