A Cornish Game Hen is just a young Chicken. There is no bird, with the name, Cornish Game Hen. It is an artificial name created by the poultry industry, designed to sell more product.
Never eat anything, that ever had a face.

From Wikipedia:
" Cornish game hen, sometimes simply called a game hen or a Cornish Rock, is an immature chicken of the Cornish variety, or of a crossbreed between the Cornish chicken and another breed. The Rock Cornish game hen, the most common game hen crossbreed, is a crossing with the Rock chicken."
Hope this helps!!

The Cornish Game is known in its native UK as the 'Indian Game', and according to LH Bailey in Farm Poultry, 1901 - the term Cornish refers to the hen's plumage, with Cornish and White being the two varieties of Indian Game, so its not really a breed at all!
It's much more popular in America, than in UK

Sorry, Irena, incorrect.
It's a game hen from Cornwall, UK
That's why it has a good taste.
