I do a pastis that's much the same BUT I use refrigerator crusts-- easier for me--i use pheasant- dux/goose- rabbit- etc all work well-I start a bit different- I cook pot and then veg in water(carrots-celery-onions- peppers- and then cabbage and use that broth to make pie- I usually use left over meat. and thicken my filling with a wine/flour wash. great quick, easy, Sunday night dinner.

gonna have to try this with quail.. Can the corn starch be substituted for anything, like flour?
