I love this show its just SO os isnt it! Medieval Xmas last night

A few things I really wanted to do

1. the smoker.

Does anyone have a home made Old style smoker?
If so Id love to hear your experiences with it.

2. the bird within a bird masterpiece
Has anyone done this? I thought it was magnificent. how on earth would I learn from scratch how to do this ( not for this year LOL!!!)

3. ginger biscuits made with breadcrumbs
how OS is this. I hate to say we often chuck end- loaves away as they go stale and we have zero freezer space much of the time. Has anyone got a recipe that would work for this? Or any other recipes using breadcrumbs in biscuits?

All your thoughts very welcome!!!

Hi Lynz, check out the River Cottage forums. I'm sure people there have tried the multibird roast.

I had a 3 bird roast (Royal Roast) on Saturday. It was a Goose stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a pheasant and was really delish! 13 of us ate it and there was a half slice left - but not for long. We got it from Seldom Seen farm, as featured on Rick Stein's food heroes.

For smoking, I saw a programme about this on UK TV Food. Here's a link to the article. All you need is a wok or large pan and it's very easy.

I wouldn't smoke anything for 5 days! I'd do it sliced in batches.

Here's a recipe for smoking salmon. Unlike the first link I posted, this one uses
sugar!

Agree it looked fab...perhaps HFW would like to invite me along as a tester for his recipes for Chrimbo 2007!!
