Name This Dead Animal

This picture is for Graham Holliday who took matters into his own hands last week and plucked, gutted, and hacked a pheasant all on his kitchen floor. He asked,

Is it just me, or does there seem to be more fluff and feathers on show on British markets these days?

I have no basis for comparison but a couple of weeks ago, I saw the above at Borough Market in London. I think the birds on the right are pheasant but the furry animals…deer? I also saw kangaroo meat for sale and some other exotic meats. I know Marv would have loved to try it, but I stayed safe with a bratwurst, a fresh tomato, and lots of fresh juice. Yum.

Here are a few more shots from Borough Market of the archway sign, mushrooms, and a couple of guys being filmed cooking (click for a larger image). Anyone know who they are?

No idea who the “TV” chefs are, but carcass looks like a couple of variety of deer. Sika or red? Dunno. Not a a rabbit though

Thanks for the confirmation, Graham. The more I look at that pic, the more I wonder if some people will think it gruesome. I have a couple of vegan/vegetarian friends who will likely gag.
