Thanks for that link, Gert.  It looks and sounds really good.  When there's a print version and a video (or tv version) I always like to compare the two - always interesting to see the minor - and sometimes major - differences between the two.  ;D

I have three quail left but ran out of time and energy . . ;D ;D  . . going to put those in the slow cooker and have them tomorrow - so thanks for that idea, too! :)

And it allowed me to use up  a can of soup from the pantry. Too easy.

Thanks Gert for all the quail fun and GF for instigating it. The food all looks lovely.
Yes Gert we have lots left. Lunch tomorrow as we were out all day.

Well done ladies, perhaps if you are a quail convert GF you will need to employ the talents of Gerts DH and get one of those special sized apparatus.
Looked like good fun.

It has been a hoot. Now who will come up with another challenge. Any challenge . Doesn't need to be a cooking challenge.

I was only thinking today that I'd like a mushroom or beetroot challenge, or both in case some don't
like one or the other of these vegies.

We should go with that Judy. Make something using either mushrooms or beet root. What do you say?

Judy, I loooove mushrooms but detest beetroot.
We have just finished demolishing the quail. DD enjoyed it, DS ate it, but preferred the chicken, and announced that he
 preferred quail eggs.
Here are some photos:
First, the chicken


Then the quail:


Quail served with garlic, ginger, onion and chicken rice and stir fried veggies:


The leftovers........

So many tiny bones, did you have to be careful not to swallow any?  They look great Sue and good to hear that the kids ate them too.

OK girls let's go with the vegie challenge next. Either mushrooms or beetroot, one or both if you like.  Off to look at recipes.

Thanks Gert.
I'm not fond of vinegar or pickles, so don't like tinned. Beetroot. Roasted beetroot just tastes like dirt to me , so I don't like that either.
Apart from beetroot, I'll eat pretty much anything else.
Oh, I'm not keen on tongue or kibbe either :-[
