What is this? For less initiated partridge is a good place to start the game game (haha) as it’s not too strong, reasonably tender and tastes much like – guess what! – chicken.

Should partridge be cooked pink?
Unlike chicken, which should always be cooked through, partridge is best served pink. The lean nature of the bird means that it is likely to dry out when cooked. Being served pink is a way to ensure that doesn’t happen, and contrary to chicken, there is no risk of life-threatening bacteria when undercooked.
Is partridge hard to cook?
It has a slightly milder flavour than some other game meats. The trick with partridge is to make sure you don’t overcook it because then you’ll find the meat is just too tough. These birds really don’t need long in the oven and are best served pink and juicy.

Is partridge healthier than chicken?
Partridge is also a healthier option than most farmed meats. Like most wild meats, it’s lower in saturated fat as result of the bird’s happy and active life.
What’s the difference between a partridge and a pheasant?
Pheasants are polygynous (i.e. one male will mate with many females), the males courting the females by displaying their extravagant plumage; spurs on their feet are used to see off rival males. Partridges are birds of dry, open country and are found throughout southern Eurasia, Africa and Australia.
Are partridge farmed?
For over 100 years, pheasants, partridge and some duck have been reared on game farms to re-stock shoots. In Britain today there are around 300 game farms, mostly rearing pheasants and partridges. Some retain a breeding flock to produce their own eggs. Others buy eggs or day-old chicks and rear them on.
