"Many people raise Guineas now, making them available for a wider range of people than hunters. This fowl is good with nearly any stuffing you might wish. One might use wild rice stuffing, chestnut stuffing or the old standby sage stuffing for good effect. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947."
