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?
