Pigeon pie??

[amarillis]

I bought a pigeon and am not sure what it will taste like or how to cook it - can you roast it (looks just like a wee chicken), or does it taste better cooked some other way?

pigeons are quite dry and I understand better casseroled than roasted. If you google on "pigeon recipes" you should find loads

Thanks woofgang, I've googled and now have lots to choose from!

Watch out for Lead Shot when you bite into it. Can have your fillings out if your'e not careful.

I keep banging on about it it, but I love the BBC.co.uk/food website. It's genius I tell you!

they have 20 recipes for Piigeon. Tell us what it was like when you've cooked your dish.

Thanks for the recipes, I ended up making a casserole with bacon and port gravy last night, it was really tasty!

That sounds absolutely delicious, amarillis.
