Hi there I have a rather odd but serious question

[j0j0j0j0anne]

I'm doing some cooking for a couple that have traveled around the world and have had many strange and weird meals from around the globe and I want to get some exotic meat but only if it's legal. My menu will be Roasted sea urchins in a lime puree, Anteater steaks with a reduced joux with saffron mashed swede carrot and turnip with creme fraisch and a gamey pheasant, leak and penguin pie. Can these items be got legally and easily?

You can't buy leaks

[cazzz1975]

[tiggerblue10]

You mean creme "fraiche".

[boxtops]

You mean Jus as well. not joux.

try London Zoo for the meat.....especially the penguins. And the Falklands Cookbook has some excellent recipes.

Saffron is incredibly expensive, use turmeric instead

this site for cooking penguins should help. I understand Kings are more tasty than Emporers, not quite as 'high'

LOL DT, the hierarchy of penguin-roasting...!

There's a lot of suspending going on tonight. Another one bites the dust.

Would you believe it there's a penguin for Italian cooking - or roasting, known as the Pasta Penguin....I am being serious on that - there are 16 types of which this is one.

I was going to make a comment about being careful about their wishbones as they are so small, and this can take the biscuit.......until I discovered the Pasta...

There's a yellow-eyed Penguin as well - for Chinese cooking? (or for when Prince Philip visits)

[pastafreak]

Hmmmppfff!!...who you calling a penguin?

time for a flounce......

[sandyRoe]

There's an abundance of penguins at London zoo. I'm sure they'd sell you one or two

These days, looking at the price, Scotch prime beef fillet looks pretty exotic to me!! ;-(
