Buying British Game

‘Game’ is the word used to describe animals and birds that are traditionally hunted for food. It falls into two categories: ‘feathered’ or ‘furred’.

Game is wild, natural and free range with a distinctive flavour.

It is also an economical alternative to other meat products, especially at the height of the season.

British game travels less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.

Choosing British means supporting British farmers whose work helps to keep the British countryside the way we want it to look.

Isn’t British game very strongly flavoured? Print Email

The favour and texture of the meat depends on what the animal or bird had been eating before being shot and the length of time it is ‘hung’ after being shot. The hanging process tenderises the meat and the meat develops a fuller, more ‘gamy’ flavour. The longer the meat is hung, the stronger the flavour will be.
