  • About

This is the kind of dish you should find in Somerset or Devon. After all, there’s no shortage of apples, cider or good cream in that part of the world – just a shortage of will.

Ingredients

  • 6 poussins, or 3 young chickens
  • 12 apples, peeled and cored
  • 8

Method

In a large flameproof casserole brown the chickens and apples in 3½ oz (100 g) of the butter. Remove from the heat and flame with the Calvados. Pour in the cider and add salt and pepper. Simmer for 2
