Every year, I like to cook game meat for my big Christmas dinner. This selection of birds is just what I need to avoid leaving the outcome of dinner to the luck (or lack thereof) of the hunters in my family.
-Ben Mims, SAVEUR Associate Food Editor

Beautifully burnished birds are a sure way to draw people to dinner. Here are marvelous game birds from a company that supplies top eateries nationwide. Duck lovers can choose from whole pekin, confited legs, or a ruby breast. Stuff a semi-boneless quail with rosemary and grill, or roast a squab or guinea hen" both are great with mushrooms.

Here's what you get:

  • One 5 lb (minimum) whole Pekin duck
  • 4 duck confit legs
  • Two 12 oz (minimum) Margret duck breasts
  • One 2.5 lb (minimum) Guinea hen
  • One 15 oz (minimum) Squab

A Bird in the Hand

D’Artagnan top-notch goods—from elk to rabbit to truffles—are on the menus of every four-star restaurant in New York. The company takes pride in their humane treatment of animals and hormone- and antibiotic-free meat. We love this succulent, tender squab from California’s Central Valley—lovely pan-roasted with morels. D’Artagnan’s tiny free-range quail come from family-owned farms in South Carolina. Like chicken, they’re flexible: We love them stuffed with rosemary. French guinea hen is lean and tender, so keep it moist with butter, bacon or duck fat. And no one is better-known for duck than D’Artagnan, so cook them as you like, and serve with a glass of Pinot Noir or Cabernet Franc.
