Thanksgiving in Bath

Yeah, long overdue, I know. Went to Bath, England for thanksgiving with a few ex-pats. We rented an apartment which allowed us to create a proper feast. Menu:

Cheese course:

Two Kinds of Stuffing:

1)Sausage and Apple

2) Alice's Version (Cinnamon, other stuff)

Roasted Root Vegetables (Alice's recipe includes balsamic vinegar. Initially, I was skeptical but it ended up being awesome so I stand corrected.)

Roasted Kale with Red Pepper (Roasting dish, oil, red pepper, salt, high heat, 7-10 min, eat). Amazing, like Kale chips. Credit Baum family.

Mashed Potatoes (No Picture)

Magnum Opus: Three Pheasants

The first two were wrapped in British Bacon. This method results in a moist Bird but perhaps not the crisp skin one would hope for. Nevertheless it was great. The third pheasant was stuffed with lemon and parsley, with lemon and butter strategically placed under the skin.  We also had sausage, parsnip, onions, and carrots in the roasting dish.

Photo would not rotate. Apologies.

My Plate

Lots of good stuff. Hard to go wrong with this menu. I think we had apple pie or crumble for dessert. Poultry and wine cloud the memory.
