Plovers, Choosing Of

Choose those birds which feel hard at the vent, which shows they are fat. In other respects plovers should be selected by the same marks as other fowls. When stale, the feet are dry. Plovers will keep a long time. In consequence of a peculiarity in the flavour of the plover, the bird is not universally liked; with some, however, it is a favourite. The grey plover is superior, as game, to the golden.
