Looky looky here. What goodies from the royal hunting grounds have we here?
Wood pigeons of course. HRO Karl Willem and PA/PR Gromit have to wash each bird thoroughly , removing fragments of the lead shot used. Unlike Mayumi Masaya (ikaw ha, mahilig ka pala sa S&M) who prolonged the suffering of a poor lobster, we were assured by the huntsman that the wood pigeons died a quick and painless death.
Massacre in The Nashman's kitchen. How do you sleep at night with blood on your hands? Well, there are 10 million wood pigeons at the height of hunting season. Unless the Chinese/Filipino restaurants get a taste for them, I think the pigeon population will be at sustainable levels. So yes, I do have a guilty conscience but with a full stomach, I fall asleep quickly. (Yung dugo pinadala ko kay Carlo J. Caparas, props para sa kanyang pito-pito gore films.)
HRO Karl Willem and PA/PR Gromit marinate the sliced wood pigeons. We normally don't do this but since this is red/game meat, the adobo needs a bit of extended foreplay. Oh ha, kahit hindi alta sociedad ang mga guests tonight, we use de kalidad ingredients. Orihinal na Kikkoman at hindi Marca Pina na dinecant sa gamit na bote ng Kikkoman. Siempre, ayaw ko namang masira ang aking ini-ingat-ingatan na pangalan at matsismis na hindi masarap ang luto. Tama na rin na quality ingredients ang gamitin para naman matikman ng mga patay-guts paminsan-minsan ang totoo. Tsaka writer ng Newsbreak yung isang guest, ayaw ko ng bad PR.
We did the actual cooking at Lourdes' flat whose kitchen is not as properly kitted as ours but being culinary geniuses, HRO Karl Willem, PA/PR Gromit and The Nashman gave it their best under very demanding conditions.
Et voila, the wood pigeon adobo with Clinton's oxtail kare-kare. And the women? They couldn't cook water to save their lives. And you ask why I don't have a current squeeze? Find me a girl who can cook half as good as I do.
Wait.
To be fair, the women "attempted" to make champorado for dessert. Rather than let disaster unfold before our very eyes, HRO Karl Willem and PA/PR Gromit had to rescue the dish...
