Henry is game

Henry did tell me that he has eaten grouse in the past, and so we went to Yorkshire Game to see what they had to offer. But they’d all gone home when we arrived. So Henry did a few circuits of the car park to stretch his wings.

As Henry told you earlier, North Yorkshire doesn’t have an enviable record when it comes to raptor persecution and so anyone in the grouse meat food chain should be asking questions of their suppliers about their practices.

Yorkshire Game is a major supplier of game meat and many London restaurants state that they source their grouse from Yorkshire – perhaps, I don’t know, from Yorkshire Game.

Yesterday I shared with you a letter I had sent to a number of London restaurants about their sourcing of grouse meat.  Below is a list of restaurants which seem to sell grouse meat. I’ll gradually work my way through this list but maybe you would like to drop them a line too and ask for their views? I’ll be interested to hear their replies.
