Atleast it's real chicken. Sorry guys, Massel should be renamed Clayton's. I'm an Oxo gal all the way. I like flavour.

yes to knorrs

I'm going to be controversial and suggest massel chicken stock cubes

I hear goat goes well in a curry.

Slow cooking goat is def the best for a 1st time as it's usually pretty light on for internal fat. Go heavy on the flavourings too. The texture is lovely - a little bit more chewy than lamb but still succulent. I like it baked middle eastern style in yoghurt with spices and almond meal mixed in to the yog. Slow cook to begin with, but for the last hour take the lid off and baste with the liquid which forms a lovely creamy/spicy crust around the leg. The meat inside will be incredibly tender and juicy too.

Rabbit is nice when done well, but it's very easy to stuff it up. The meat is very lean, and has a distinctive flavour. I like to joint it, wrap each piece in bacon/prosciutto and then stew it slowly in diced tomato (tinned) with sauteed onion etc. The bacon makes the meat go a nice pink color - if you don't wrap it in bacon or something like it the meat cooks up grey and does not look nice. The I slip the meat from the bones and use as a pie filling - rabbit pie is food of the gods. I would not recommend roasting it to begin with - very hard to get the timing right and you have to baste every few minutes it feels like. Wild rabbit can be spiced up to the nines and maybe should be. Domestic rabbit is a bit more forgiving.

Duck is a whole other ball game - maybe go asian as there's a lot of recipies from those cuisines.

I’ve had goat before, and I found the flavour a bit too strong for my liking. It’s like lamb, but stronger. Agree slow cook would be the way to go, with some strong seasonings to balance it out. Never had rabbit. Duck I’ve never cooked myself but had it at restaurants and it’s delicious. Recipes to try might be Chinese style or go fancy with a duck l’orange.

I have been told that you can use goat anywhere you would use lamb but slow cook it. I have made goat curry (a massaman type) but don't have the recipe anymore

I don't know whether you mentioned precisely which day this weekend is your birthday, so I'll get this in now: Happy Birthday, Bull!

Footy players make sacrifices too you know. /s

I’ve wondered about that and actually had a discussion about adding frothed milk to plunger coffee.

Haven’t tried it myself but its going to require getting some of the milk to coffee ratios right.

I'm on media blackout for this film. No teasers, no trailers. They show too much in them and I'm already going to see it so I'll wait and be surprised.

I've been keeping an ear out for if they put out anything which is a promo without footage from the film though.

I think I might break my no big screen run for this

Coming together.

Let's fuckin' go.

Let's fucking go.

Oh that sucks. I had to take mine away too, but it was because those damn myna birds decided they were going to hog the water and take over the yard, bullying all the other birds away. It had only been there half an hour.
