Game
In most European countries game forms part of the average diet but that in Britain it represents only 1% of total meat consumption, it is claimed. Grant-aided promotion of game has focussed on increasing and sustaining demand for wild game, particularly pheasant and venison, in England. The season for game is relatively short with supplies available through dealers, many of whom have close contacts with estates.
