National Roast Pheasant Day

October 15th is National Roast Pheasant Day in the United States.

There are different types of pheasant but the one that is most widely known is called the Common Pheasant which is, as the name suggests, common in many places around the world.

Pheasants are a species of game bird that is popular to hunt in the U.S. and the UK, although they may not necessarily be legal to hunt all through the year. Depending on the region, the birds may only be hunted at certain times. In the U.S. especially, some of the hunted birds are feral, but others are farmed simply to be hunted.

Roasting, which is a popular way of cooking many birds, is simple and uses dry heat to cook the pheasant. The roast bird would then be normally accompanied by vegetables. Pheasants don't come in a huge range of sizes; one bird would usually only have sufficient meat to provide for at most two people.
