I usually have duck confit for dinner on New Year's Day, but I'm breaking the habit by having a crack at doing ragoût of pheasant with walnuts, per a recipe in Pierre Koffman's Memories of Gascony.ETA - there was slightly more meat on the bird than I had originally thought, so I have a portion of breast meat left over for use in a risotto or hash with some black pudding tomorrow night.
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Agreed - a jar of shop bought sauce should be inert until the seal is broken. Otherwise it would have a “use by” date rather than “best before”.
Fish and chips, on the quay at New Quay. A beautiful evening. As long as you're wrapped up warm, which we were.

If it was still properly sealed with the “button” down it won’t hurt you, and obvs tasted ok!
