K Si,

Speaking from experience, the answer is yes.  Well. my landlord did mind.  I had been to see her earlier though, to borrow the spade to dig the pit.

When she asked where we were oing it I replied "at a mates place".  She did not believe me when the next day, standing next to the bloody great hole in the ground and beer bottles everywhere, plus empty keg, i said"he pulled out, so we did it here".  Funny that.

Still, great party.

Mmmmmmm, Mutton birds!

Yum, I miss them.  My old man will have a good recipe for them, so I will ask him.

The way I have cooked them before, is boiling them for about an hour, then change the water, and boil again for an hour.  Do this for a couple of times, then grill them under a hot grill for about 30 - 35 mins.

I will post my old mans recipe if I get one soon!

Why????

When you can so easily get quails in aspic or lark's tongues, why fiddle around with damn muttonbirds for goodness sake

I think I may have tried it at a hangi too.

Wonder if my landlord would mind if I dug a hangi pit in the backyard? ]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2004 18:02:29 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6853&PID=87977&title=mutton-birds#87977 <![CDATA[Mutton birds : Hell Yea Ngati Paati Tribal Recipe...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6853&PID=87976&title=mutton-birds#87976 Author: Kylie

I suppose it's the maori coming out in me but I quite like the beasts.

Follow recipe as above and then roast in a sour cream and Mustard sauce with heaps of pepper  (I like my food hot).

I tried muttonbird once. Bloody salty it is!

Occassionally they come up for sale in the seafood department at the supermarket.

Not good for a quick meal with that sort of preparation I guess.]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2004 17:14:41 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6853&PID=87960&title=mutton-birds#87960 <![CDATA[Mutton birds : The best recipe is to swap them...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6853&PID=87959&title=mutton-birds#87959 Author: Bender

The best recipe is to swap them for some fish and chips at the local takeaways.]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2004 17:13:41 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6853&PID=87959&title=mutton-birds#87959
