I've eaten a decent amount of grouse and they are EXCELLENT. The larger ones such as the spruce grouse that don't fly much are especially good. They are are a very white meated bird that are just excellent. Most I've had were killed while hunting something else. Rolled in a little flour with salt and pepper and cooked with butter in tin foil over a campfire, and were just awesome! Fried like quail would probably be even better.
