Guinea fowl
Many people think guinea fowl or guinea hen is a British game bird but in fact it is of West African origin and in Britain is usually sold farm-reared rather than wild. Free-range versions are available but some are battery farmed.
Guinea fowl can be served in any way that is appropriate for a small chicken. As well as roasting, it is often spatchcocked and marinated before grilling or barbecuing.
All raw poultry should be eaten within three days of purchase.
If purchased from a butcher, keep it loosely wrapped in foil or greaseproof paper; poultry packed in gas-flush containers should be kept unopened. Store on the bottom shelf of your fridge.
