well,,, game buffet at work,,,,, got 5 peakok and this was well succes ,,, this is what i did;

Peacock a la mr big,,,,,,,,

1 whole (3 lbs.) boneless peacock, or
3 lbs. boneless, skinned peacock breasts, cubed
2 medium onions
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 C peanut oil
1/2 C chili powder
1 1/2 t cayenne pepper
5 T ground cumin
1/4 C flour
3 large tomatoes
2 C water
2 - 12 oz bottles Dixie (or Jax, or Greisedeck) beer
1 t cilantro
juice of 1 lime

Go out in the yard at dark and listen in the trees. Catch one napping and bring it in. Knock it on the doorframe first, otherwise you're in for a time. Save the better feathers, you might use them later.

Cook the onions and garlic in the oil in a large pot, not long, just to get some flavor out of them. Don't brown 'em! Toss in the cubes of meat and cook till they're white all around. Throw in your chili powder and cayenne and cumin and roll the meat around in it. Throw in your flour and roll it around again.

Puree the tomatoes and slop them in with one of the beers and then the water. Mix it up, turn the stove down, cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and the lime juice. Take the lid off and simmer it another half hour.

Great use of the shadow, perhaps if the feather was moved all the way to the left so it would be in the left third and the whole middle and right side of the image only had the shadow as the negative space, it would have been even more effective. Nice idea though.
