At between 12 and 15 euros per kilo, it's not expensive compared to rumsteak, entrecôte, or faux-filet.

The meat is denser and leaner, but it doesn't have a stronger or gamey taste. We buy <i>pintades</i> regularly from the poultry vendor at the Saint-Aignan market.

I could never figure out why the <i>Dordogne</i> was also <i>Périgord</i>... but, not really.
