Alex James from BlurGame is about the best bargain going and it’s hard to think of how an animal could be more ethically reared, or how it could be any more expensive.

This is what it takes to put a pheasant, a grouse, a red-legged partridge, a snipe or a woodcock on the table. It is never done any other way. Most of the pheasants shot in this country are eaten in France, not thrown away as some people believe. I have only one question. Why would anyone eat chicken instead?

Picture of Rachel GreenI absolutely love cooking with game – I'm a country girl, a farmer's daughter, and it's part of my life. People often don't realize how versatile – and how healthy - game is to cook and eat. There's a huge variety available – from snipe and partridge to venison and hare, and so many ways of preparing it, from traditional old-fashioned and delicious roast pheasant wrapped in bacon to a modern-day venison burger stuffed with blue cheese
- Rachel Green.

Our nutritionist thinks game is the best source of meat in terms of protein. He was really happy to find out I was eating partridge, grouse and pheasant in my own time.
- From interview with keen shooter, Wasps and England international rugby player Tom Voyce (Shooting Times, March 16 2006).

Picture of Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallGame is a top-quality food - healthy and free range - and is very good value as its currently in season. It's now readily-available in supermarkets and butchers, so there's no excuse not to try it! Start with pheasant breasts, and go from there! A big thumbs up to Game-to-Eat for promoting game to consumers and retailers alike.

Valentine Warner, from TV series What to Eat NowGame is one of the most underrated British foods. I love fat, buttery partridges. September is the start of the game season in Britain, so go to your local butchers and get buying to impress friends for dinner.
