Whole Wild Pheasant, Previously Frozen
Pheasant, the unsung hero of the British countryside crockpots! Free-ranging outdoors for their entire life, pheasants (like all game) are naturally lean. The trick to cooking a pheasant is to do so at a much lower heat, but for a longer amount of time. Slow cooking this way will prevent the pheasant from drying out. You could also coat it in butter or olive oil to keep it moist. Failing that, a good glug of cider or wine and a broth or stock will make for a mouth-watering meal.
*This product may contain lead shot or bone fragments.
Lead-shot game refers to Pheasant, Partridge, Deer, Goose, Wood Pigeon, Woodcock & Rabbit shot for food using pellets or balls made of lead. Eating lead-shot game meat on a frequent basis can expose you to potentially harmful levels of lead. To minimise your risk of lead intake, if you frequently eat lead-shot game meat, particularly small game, you should cut down your consumption.
Exposure to lead can harm the developing brain and nervous system. So cutting down the amount of lead-shot game eaten is especially important for:
- toddlers
- children
- pregnant women
- women trying for a baby
