English Partridge

S tier

English partridge is the traditional British name for grey partridge, evoking driven and walked-up days on chalk and arable land. Meat is delicate, sweet-savoury, and best when birds are young of the year—an autumn plate of pure understatement. Roast with grape bunches or serve on toast with liver pâté smear in classic fashion. English partridge commands respect and price when truly wild.

Also known as: English partridge, English grey
