  Okay, a little late in the day for partridge, but it had to be done. I bought these frozen in the crazy game, fish, and bric-a-brac shop in Alnwick. I trussed them as above with a nice thick slice of pancetta and slowly gilled them over not so hot charcoal for 30-40mins, turning every now and then. Utterly delicious, and very good cold. "Give me more little bird", demanded bockle major.
  The legs and the remaining bird I cooked in oil with garlic, a cinammon stick, a bay leaf and chili. I put them in a parfait jar and boiled it, lid open, in a saucepan of water. Yet to be sampled....
