Eating pigeon
Anyone got some interesting recipes for eating pigeon?
Part of the post Brexit food plan ... following this week's apocalyptic vision of food supply disruption and price hikes. Local food supply will be in big demand :)

Pigeon is very nice, best casseroled or braised in red wine, squirrel can be cooked to any rabbit recipe.

Had grouse once up in the Highlands whilst working/living there pre vege days. Very different taste.
On a wider note, UK farming across the board will have to change pretty significantly after brexit kicks in. With all imported items going up in price by 7-10% minimum due to tariffs, UK consumers will focus more on local produce where possible if it ends up being cheaper. More work for agriculture/horticulture, if they can find the workers.

My Greek car mechanics often had a few pigeons hanging up when I went for a car fix. Airgun/bang/dinner, they said they were delicious.
If I ever ate meat again it would be game or roadkill. Are pigeons game? Stuff that has a bit of a life beforehand, and is not killed in a slaughterhouse. Venison too, deer which are shot in their field as they don't travel well in a truck.

They're not classified as game as there is no shooting season for them, they are mainly seen as a pest by farmers because they nip the tops out of young shoots.

Last time I was in Suffolk couldn't believe how many wood pigeons there were. Almost as many as we have common pigeons around our urban paradise :)

Yes wood pigeon is tasty - but taste gets old quick. Grew up in a community that hunted on a regular basis. Can't even look at game any more.

Were you a regular at Dilley's gun shop on Green Lanes Kotkas?.
