A. Cornish Game Hens are much under-appreciated in my opinion. And, while you're considering stuffing them, have you considered halving them, marinating them in Italian Dressing overnight and grilling? Served with a dijon wine sauce, these tasty morsals are wonderful with a wild rice salad and fresh green beans. Still want that stuffing? Here are some ideas: 1. Saute 1/2 yellow onion, chopped, in 3 T butter along with 1 stalk of celery, chopped. Saute until tender and translucent. Add 2 links hot Italian sausage, casings removed, and saute until cooked thru. Add more butter if you need to. To one box Stouffers Cornbread stuffing add: 1 egg, 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts, and onion/celery/sausage mixture. Add 1 1/2 cups boiling… [cont.]

Asked by Morgannn - Sat Oct 18 14:36:44 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you put the frozen hens into a bowl of cool water, it does not take too long for them to thaw. About an hour; give or take a few minutes. Be sure to leave the chicken in its water tight plastic bag, and avoid using hot water. Or you can thaw them in the fridge overnight. I wouldn't recommend thawing them in the microwave, tho.

How do I prepare Cornish Game Hens?
Q. I'm taking care of my dad while my mother is away (meaning preparing his meals and keeping his house clean) and when I went to start washing his dishes, I saw 3 Cornish Game Hens defrosting in the sink. I can only assume that he wants the hens for dinner, but I'm not much of an omnivore, so I have no idea how to prepare them. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to cook them, including ingrediants, applications and cook time? Also, what would be a good side for the hens? (This is a challenge for me in that my stomach churns a bit when I touch meat in the shape of a body, but I can do this!)

Why has Welsh, Gaelic and in some instances Cornish survived, while others died ?
Q. Welsh, Gaelic and in some instances Cornish has survived, but why did the other Celtic languages died in Britain ?
Asked by unknown - Sun Nov 8 15:28:17 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They were protected by mountains, by which I mean remoteness. Because this made travelling difficult, people remained in their own little pockets and spoke their own language. In the case of Scotland, the sea also formed a protective barrier, with Gaelic remaining a living language in the Outer Hebrides. Welsh survived more than the other Celtic languages because of the influence of religion. The translation of the Bible into Welsh by Bishop William Morgan and the preaching and hymn singing tradition had a great impact.

A. Unfreeze hens in fridge for a day. Clean off any little hairs left (usually by the joints). Soak in cold saltwater for 1/2 hour or so to finish bleeding the hens. Prepare any commercially sold stuffing mix that you like. Jazz the stuffing up with something, if you want, such as chopped walnuts, raisins - anything you think will go. Stuff hens with stuffing mix. Shake some cinnamon into your hands. Schmear the hens with the cinnamon. Sprinkle ground pepper conservatively onto hens, and add garlic powder (not garlic salt).

A. I live in Lerryn, about a 30 minute drive from Truro, and it's truly gorgeous. My village inspired Kenneth Graham to write "wind in the willows" and "tales of the riverbank" and is one of those "sleepy" villages you sort of "stumble on" by accident. The average population is about 350, but rising to 500 during summer, due to second homeowners. The tiny school has 38 pupils, and we only have 1 pub, and a small village shop. We don't get over-run with tourists, but the ones we do get, come back year after year. The nearest town is Lostwithiel, and we are slap bang between Truro, and Plymouth. The nearest coastal resorts are Looe, Polperro, Fowey, and Polruan.
