I've done it.
I've finally gotten myself a whole organism from the anamalia family, drizzled some fat on it, and whacked it in the oven all by myself.
A whole spatchcock is a whole animal, no matter how small it is, thank you very much.
(I must admit, it wasn't a whole whole bird - he didn't have any organs or a face, but he was nearly there.)
We'd kept him frozen until I was ready to tackle him, so after roasting a duck with my grandmother, I got the gist of how to prepare a bird for eating.
