The only "simple steps" that result in me eating this are: Walking into a restaurant, ordering it off the menu then paying for it.

I can just see me popping into the local supermarket and asking if they sell guinea-fowl..."Oh yes sir, it's right next to the ostrich and kangaroo meat, you can't miss it, it's in our biggest-sellers section!"

Chef Randall, last week you gave us a recipe for some very out-of-season asparagus.

This week you give us a recipe for Guinea Fowl. Now, admittedly, Guinea Fowl tastes great. I've eaten it in Africa.

But for most of us reading at HuffPost, Guinea Fowl is available only at very high prices. Most of us are in the USA, where shops never carry Guinea Fowl and it can only be obtained from vendors such as D'Artagnan. For $20 for a 2.5-3lb frozen bird, or $29 for a similar fresh bird. PLUS shipping and handling, which is going to be an added $8-10 at least.

So you are giving us a recipe for a fairly small bird which is going to set us back $30-40, just for the bird alone.

And if I take your advice and invite some friends and family over, I'm going to need a number of those high-priced Guinea Fowl.

Possibly, Guinea Fowl are considerably cheaper in the UK. Given food prices in the UK, I rather doubt it. But in any case, you're not blogging for a UK audience. You're blogging for a multi-national audience that includes the USA, Canada, and elsewhere.

What recipe will appear next? Something requiring wild Scottish wood pigeon?

What are you talking about?

There is no where in Philadelphia that one can purchase live guinea fowl, nor for that matter is there any place in NYC where one can get them. Both cities have plenty of live poultry, neither city has vendors selling live guinea fowl. And if an American cannot obtain them in Philadelphia or NYC, an American can NOT go out anywhere and get them.
