Partridge from weekend estate hunts in Scotland. These truly wild game birds forage and eat berries and heather, and get constant exercise, which gives their meat a distinctive flavor. Red-legged wild partridge are plump-bodied little birds with a characteristically lean, mild flavor and tender pale meat. Wild game is only available for a limited season each year.
Red-legged partridge can be simply and quickly roasted. Don't overcook and dry out this game meat; serve it pink and juicy. A pan sauce with the drippings will go nicely with partridge and any accompaniments such as autumn vegetables, cabbage or fried potatoes. Bacon and chestnuts, wild mushrooms, porcini powder and foie gras are all flavors that play well with partridge.
