Bohemian
A tier
Bohemian pheasant refers to Czech and Central European game strains valued for strong flight and solid table carcasses. Meat is lean and aromatic, often slightly more robust than soft pen-raised supermarket birds, suiting Czech and Austrian game sauces with cream and cranberry. Roast or prepare as guláš-adjacent game stews when older. Central European butchers may label Bohemian origin as a quality cue during hunting season.
