- mercer 9y agobetter than duck?
- simonh 9y agoThey’re quite different, like comparing pork and beef. Guinnea Fowl is a white meat like Chicken but is more flavourful and gamey, a bit more like bronze turkey. You get a little more meat than on a duck but it’s not as fatty so can be a little dry depending how you cook it.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoTrick question, nothing is better than duck.
- ajmurmann 9y agoGoose can be! Especially Hungarian goose. It is a tough call though. There is also squab, but that is so different in flavor and preparation that it's really a bad comparison.
- jondubois 9y agoI find Guineafowl better. Some people describe it as gamey but maybe it depends where you get it from (wild vs farmed) and which part of the animal you consume (legs and wings are usually gamey-er). Both times I tried Gineafowl breast (in two different countries), it tasted like chicken but more fine, moist and buttery with a unique flavour. Sometimes chicken breast has a dry, almost grainy consistency; Gineafowl was more oily. It did have its own slight unique flavor but I wouldn't describe it as 'gamey'; I think that even Duck is more gamey than Gineafowl. On the gamey-ness scale of all the ornithological specimens I tried I would say: Chicken < Gineafowl < Turkey < Duck < Quail < Pigeon < Partridge < Pheasant If you're used to eating turkey a lot, I suspect that you might find Gineafowl to be more gamey than turkey but I think it's close.
