I've heard they're delicious.

If you were an Englishman in the late Renaissance, you might well have known the Guinea fowl as a "Turkey bird," because as far as your average Englishman knew, Turkey is where they came from.

Which is why, upon seeing a large, previously unknown ground-feeding bird in North America, new English settlers referred to the new animals as "Turkey birds."

Word on the street is that Guineas are better table fare than turkeys. I've never had the chance to find out, myself, but I can believe it because I've had some pretty mediocre turkey.
