smothering

1. 1.
   kill (someone) by covering their nose and mouth so that they suffocate.

Ah - I thought you meant something like "is it covered in butter or bacon or something".

All the supermarket guinea fowls come from France I think, so hopefully a fair few smotherings.

Seriously, give it a try. It's only slightly more expensive per kilo than chicken and I think it goes beautifully with a roast.

Hows it cooked, what do you do it with?

Had roasted onions with my roast today, incredibly soft and sweet.

Stuffing
Roast potatoes

My uncle used to put ketchup and salad cream on his roasts. I still have traumatic childhood memories of sitting around the table at Christmas trying to stop myself from wretching at the sight of him scoffing down this awful curdled blend of salad cream, ketchup and gravy.

That’s traumatic to read about, let alone witness first hand.

Got to disagree about turkey though. I’m gonna be one of those smug bells who insists you’ve just never had it done right.

Roast it in the oven on a raised rack in a roasting tin, the same as chicken. IMHO it's a thicker, juicier meat with a slightly more buttery taste.

Serve with roast spuds, yorkies, roasted onions and carrots, steamed broccoli. I've never stuffed a guinea fowl but I don't see any reason why you couldn't do so.
