What I do to make this work for me is make enough roux to cover the birds. I will reserve a good portion of the bacon fat and add more flour as well as add more hot chicken stock. Another hint is to buy the onions frozen. This will greatly reduce the preperation time. We in the USA do not have to remove the rind from the bacon. The forcemeat balls are worth the effort. You will need to ask the butcher for shredded beef suet and do this in advance as he may have it or will tell you when he will. Bon Appetit....
