If you enjoy eating game, you have to keep an eye on the calendar, as different game birds and animals are available at different times through the autumn and winter.
An organization to promote game in Britain, the Game Marketing Executive, has been set up under the aegis of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Countryside Business Group, and, as a result, we see more game in the shops in due season. But I was disappointed to see, in some of its promotional literature, that guinea fowl and quail were listed with other game.
