Has anyone ever seen Cornish or Rock Hens in any of the stores there? They are little guys and usually come in a pack of two. They are Mrs. GV's favorite. Seared, grilled and basted with a Maple Syrup, butter, Dejon and thyme mixture they are hard to beat.

I can't wait to see the remarks for this one. :cluck:

I have a family of Gambol Quail living in my garden, we could trap one of those. Fresh, not frozen.

Found some, they were excellent. Just go to Seadweller's home, & he'll even BBQ them for you. That's what we did the other night, had a great time. Our turn to cook tonight.

OK Mark...Where did you get them or were they smuggled? Or better yet, what time is dinner?

Jack... I only do the cooking... I don't ask what or where it came from... There's an old saying "Smuggling is more than just an adventure"... or was that "more than just a job..?"

How to Raise Cornish Game Hens

How to Raise Cornish Game Hens
The Rock Cornish Game Hen was fist bred in 1950 in an attempt to replace the guinea hen-due to a farm fire a large flock of guinea hens were lost. The Cornish Game Hen is a product of crossbreeding the Cornish chicken with other breeds of chickens. The result was a smaller, plumper hen that produced only white meat. The average weight of a game hen is 2-1/2 pounds. Read on to learn more.

Interesting write-up Kenny.

I'll have to check, but the ones I get seem to have dark meat thighs and legs.

Mine look better than those pics when they come off the grill. I bet Mark's do too.

The carnicerias I go to in Mesa have cornish game hens seasoned and split in half, ready to grill. They call them godorniz. The ones I saw today were $2.39 a pound. I can't imagine they wouldn't have them in RP. Just ask for them by name.They are different than Roberto's pet quail, which are called codorniz.
