Pigeon

[tomsammce]

Anyone tryed this before? Heapsa them round neighbour had a few pet ones and they been shitting in my car. Thinking could eat them as u can get pretty close.

Anyone?

Yes. Bleed AND defeather as soon as slaughtered.

- Cut off head and majority of the legs, as most of the meat you'll want to be eating will come from the breast and back. (Although this is just personal preference as I find pigeon legs hideous to look at)

- Season by rubbing in Paprika, taragon and some garlic salt.

- Roast it, pick/slice off meat and throw the carcass in a pot of boiling water with some other ingredients to create stock for your next meal.

Don't cook the meat for too long. You'll kill all the nutritious parasites.

relevant story: someone i know was managing some apartments on nelson street auckland, had to give warning letters to 3 apartments full of indians for getting the pigeons to come in with bread then shutting the balcony door and killing and eating them

Lol love it!

Make the curry extra hot it'll just taste like chicken.

I thought it was a joke when people suggested to eat the pigeons to solve my little nesting issue under the BBQ. Not only could I have eggs free but meat free too, brb doing midnight slaughter.

I've actually eaten pigeon in France, pretty tasty. Small though, better off grabbing a swan from Western Springs or a sheep from Cornwall Park

I seriously considered this same thing when I was a struggling student any years ago. They were all over campus and I needed protein.

my brother and his mates were stoned in the bush once and according to them, shot a pigeon, took it back to the house and chucked it in the deep fryer.

Those pigeons in the bush are native birds lol.

They are bigger though and tastier no doubt, prob how the Maoris who live out bush stay fat who don't have access to undersized paua.

wood pidgeon, tsk tsk.. naughty naughty..

Im not sure why they are still protected. Areas I hunt in there are plenty. As a youngster over 20 years ago now, living in the bush possum hunting, if other meat was scarce ate wood pidgeon. Yummy..

Although there were usually eel, deer, trout or pig or other meat sources available. But they were a good back stay if there was nothing else for the pot..

Never tried tame ones though. Cant see there being much difference.

For eating the common flying rat type pigeon, they are best eaten when young just before they start to fly. Major protien source in postwar Europe, but I think bulking up the local ducks with stale bread might give you a better feed....

My mate used to go in there regularly to buy them until the pet shop clicked what he was doing with them
