Because of its reckless behaviour on country lanes, the pheasant has become something of an irritation in parts of the countryside, playing ‘chicken’ with speeding cars, vans, and even tractors, displaying a worrying devotion to committing suicide or maiming themselves. Headlights, windscreens and wing mirrors are its apparent targeted prey!
‘Farmed’ pheasant will taste much milder than ‘the wild ones’ and most other game on the circuit, being similar to farmed chicken in texture.
BETTER WELL-HUNG. LIKE MOST GAME. COCK OR HEN. A DECENT BIRD WITH ENOUGH FOR TWO.
