Wild Game Roast Guinea Fowl

roast guinea fowl
(from Common Sense in the Household by Marion Harland, 1871)

Ingredients:

2 guinea fowl, young​
stuffing of choice​
butter​
shallot, chopped​
parsley or summer savory​
browned flour​
currant or other tart jelly​

Instructions:

A pair of young Guinea fowls, stuffed and roasted, basting them with butter, until they are half done, deserves an honorable place upon our bill of fare. Season the gravy with a chopped shallot, parsley or summer savory, not omitting the minced giblets, and thicken with browned flour. Send around currant, or other tart jelly, with the fowl. A little ham, minced fine, improves the dressing.​

I thought an interesting recipe. My Granny who lived in Lexington, Ky. raised Guinea fowl.
