agree  Mirra_: 'eurasian woodcock' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Woodcock a me sembrava protetta.... (anche perché in via di estinzione) Ma che ricette sono queste??? Spero antiche!

  -> Grazie! ;D
agree  Kimberly Wastler: Or as my son's favorite bedtime book says: Scolopax rusticola - www.scolopasrusticola.com - In Italy it can be hunted but not SOLD, so if you want to try the recipe you have to go get your own in the woods.

neutral  Michael Korovkin: funny: the asker puts "beccaccia", a person answers "woodcock" – no reaction; and you all reward a person who answers entry "beccaccia" with "woodcock sauce". How would it make the precise/punctual answerer feel?

agree  Michael Korovkin: the question was "beccaccia" – not "sugo di beccaccia"; so the correct answer is without "sauce". Tht's what I meant by the comment above
12 hrs
  -> thanks, but laura_ms answered 1 minute before me, and her answer was correct, so she deserves the points. She only mentioned the 'sauce' because it was specified in the original sentence. No problem for me. :)
agree  Laura Massara: yep, Sylvy, I mentioned 'sauce' just to be more helpful ;-D
13 hrs
  -> sì, l'avevo capito, grazie. Il tuo termine era esatto e sei anche arrivata prima di me, quindi è tutto a posto! Buona giornata! ;)

neutral  Anthony Green: though they're easy to confuse in nature, Snipe is Woodcock's smaller cousin, Michael, known as Beccaccino in Italian and Gallinago gallinago in Latin. But I imagine in the pot few people would be able to tell the difference ;)
1 hr
  -> Tour d'Argent menu (English subtitles) says "snipe" (100 quid). Ches Giovanni menu says Woodcock (18 quid). The taste difference ain't worth 82 quid. As for the rest, you're right too.
neutral  Laura Massara: You mean "Chez Giovanni", right?
11 hrs
  -> gosh, sorry, of course, twerpy inattentive me!
