Guinea fowl are medium-sized birds, originally from Guinea on the west African coast. They have a slightly dry flesh and a subtle game flavour that is similar to that of partridge. Guinea fowl tend to be cooked as game, although they are reared as poultry. Whole free-range guinea fowl, naturally reared in the Sandilands forest preserve in Manitoba, are available from Townsend. One guinea fowl serves 2-3.
