Recipe Review
Sovay from Northern England,
I've spent a few holidays in Belgium and always enjoyed the beer-based dishes - particularly the rabbit in beer (to which this recipe could easily be applied).  I used an M&S Cornish pale ale I found in the cupboard, not sure how it got there.  Flaming the gin was a bit alarming as always, and I over-reduced the sauce slightly but that wasn't the fault of the recipe - just inattention on my part.  One thing to bear in mind is not to trim the root end of the little onions too much, as if they don't have a solid base the middle tends to pop out.  Also thicker-cut bacon would have been better in this context.
