Hi all,
Im a bit hard up this year and as its Xmas and my jack russell is getting on a bit. I thought it might be nice to have him for dinner Christmas day with some Potatoes and perhaps a sandwich Boxing day with any left overs. How long do you think he needs in the oven and is there any sauce you would recommend that would compliment the meal...
Dog lovers need not answer....

With an older animal, the right cooking techinque can make the difference between a moist succulent feast and a stringy tough disappointment.
Here is a recipe guaranteed to draw complements.
Skin, clean, and rinse dog well, being sure to remove all spongy bits from body cavity. Remove head and tail, cutting close to body with a sharp knife or a pair of poultry shears. Trim away paws.
Cut dog into 4 serving size pieces, using knife or scissors to disjoint. Place a dutch oven on your stove, bring to a medium-high heat, and add 1/4 cup peanut oil. Sear dog pieces on both sides, being careful not to crowd pan or the pieces witl boil, not sear.
Remove dog pieces to platter, drain excess oil, reserving about 1 tbsp. Lower heat and add 1 large onion, sliced thickly. Saute until onion turns golden brown.
Return dog pieces to dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper to taste. A few sprigs of fresh rosemary will marry well with the hearty taste of dog. Cover.
Place in oven on low heat for 2 hours. At 2 hours, add 3 large scrubbed carrots cut into 2" chunks and about 10 small potatoes, scraped. Cover, return to oven, and cook for an additional hour.
Transfer meat and vegetables to a warm platter. Add a small amount of red wine to dutch oven to deglaze, scraping to get all of those dark brown bits. Taste, adjust seasonings, and pour over meat and vegetables. Serve with a good hearty Bordeaux and crusty bread. Enjoy!
Aside to the humor impaired and habitually indignant---get over yourselves! It's a joke!

I have you one better! Things were pretty tight last year, and was surely wondering what I could put on the table for the family supper. Not wanting to disappoint, there was some fresh kill on the side of the road, not more than 5 or 6 hours old. But no worries! Took him home to the missus, and after about 30 minutes we got all the gravel out. Sliced him up thin and dandy, soaked him in some milk, and put him on the barbie. Kids loved him! first meat we had in weeks! A bit gaseaous after, but just loosen the belt some, turn on the tellie, and we had ourselves a fine Merry Christmas.

About the same time as a ferret. Surely you know how to cook a ferret if you have a Jack Russel.
You have upset quadqueen. Why not invite her round to share your Jack Russel, I am sure she will change her mind about you once she has had a taste of him.
Wo! leslie c is in tears, you had better ask her round as well.
Bonn Appetite.

I have heard Jack doesn't taste very good and there isn't a whole lot of meat on them. I would make a stew out of him. Skin him first and then cut him into smaller pieces. Get a crock pot and fill it with water. Add the dog and let it simmer for 8-12 hours. Remove the bone and add your favorite veggies to the pot. Let it slow cook until the veggies are nice and tender. Yum.

Well,
I look after a female Jack Russel, and she is a terror, but I doubt if she has enough meat on her.
She will probably end up full of goose left-overs, rather than me full of doggy bits.
Dog lovers - don't panic - I love her.

I actually have a friend who ate his cocker spaniel a few years ago. I emphasise the fact that he did not kill it as it died of old age.
He chopped off the head, pulled out the bowels, heart, etc and then cooked it in the oven for 2 hours at 220 degrees centigrade. Apparently it tasted like lamb.
Highly recommended!!

I would try to use a turkey "deep fryer" then you don't have to sit there all day and watch it.. besides, jack's make great tailgait munchies. You could try to just grill him on the bar-b-cue grill also.. Whenever dinner is , let me know and I will bring a rat terrior for a side dish.. mmmm i gotta go each now..HAVE A HOWLING HOILDAY..

dont cook him, do it sushi style, with it skinned and raw on the plate... as to sauces, well ketchup or brown... thats newcastle brown...
you could cover him in clay and spit roast him over a slow candle. or just pop him in next doors microwave..svaes on the electricity and the mess.
yes, im a dog lover, we have 4 wolfhound lurchers, and we all have a distinct dislike for these little fat snappy bad tempred rats...
or theres always russel kebab, jack pate' on toast, or my old time favourite, four and twenty jack russels baked in a pie... follow gordon ramsays recipie... jamie oliver cant cook canine cuisine. tatses too much like cat for my liking..and its stringy unless you marinade it in pernod.
mind you ive discovered the itchy and scratchy snack book, if you cant find it in the shops dont worry, sky repeat the simpsons often enough...

I would cook him about as long as a large cat. Curry is suggested for seasoning, and make sure to use butter, and parsley on the potato's.

Tongue in Cheek (No pun intended) I would suggest "Jack Tartar"
Or ya might consider running him down ta the Pub, sowsing " 'im " up and letting the meal go forgotten.
G'Day mate, enjoy the Yule, I say "Fish N Chips"
