Read more Game with a DifferenceThursday, 12 September 2013 Sunday roasts are as British as fast food is American. This may not be true for all households but when it came to Sundays at my home and no roast was produced, there were certainly some groans. It seems to me that roasting game birds is a similar British trait. For, when I was young, it could have been easily mistaken that the only way to cook a game bird was to roast it. I was taught there was only one way to cook a game bird that was to pile a whole load of bacon on top and blast it to high hell. How wrong could I have been?

Temperatures are still flying above 20 celsius, and what we are trying to say is – do not feel pressurized into cooking a roast!

Game is about the best bargain going and it’s hard to think of how an animal could be more ethically reared, or how it could be any more expensive.
This is what it takes to put a pheasant, a grouse, a red-legged partridge, a snipe or a woodcock on the table. It is never done any other way. Most of the pheasants shot in this country are eaten in France, not thrown away as some people believe. I have only one question. Why would anyone eat chicken instead?
