Game 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.
I 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 
Game birds are wild birds eating natural food, so if you want to eat something fantastic and support an ethically sounds food source, this is where its at.
Game 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.
Game 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.
