Guinea fowl are far from having the gastronomic value of pheasants, nevertheless they are frequently used to replace pheasant as a roast when the close season deprives the table of this excellent member of the chicken family.

Nearly all the recipes for pheasant are suitable for guinea fowl but those which are particularly applicable are: à la Bohemienne, à la Choucroute and en Salmis; see the appropriate recipes in the section on pheasants.
