AFter being used for generations as messengers they went feral and found that they were even more successful in an urban environment.<br /><br />The woodpigeon is a much bigger bird (also present in London) but which eats only seeds, grain and berries. It is also much prettier and generally more edible-looking.Charlie McVeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967002032615534706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-43987124851824316302009-04-22T12:52:00.000+01:002009-04-22T12:52:00.000+01:00yay!

This looks like an interesting sauce.

I have never cooked pigeon before so am wondering what the difference would be between a wood pigeon and a standard pigeon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550630880349913974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-62670041019164074742009-04-22T09:35:00.000+01:002009-04-22T09:35:00.000+01:00Is all pigeon you eat (in restaurants etc.) wood p...Is all pigeon you eat (in restaurants etc.) wood pigeon or is some just normal pigeon??

Removing the breast (the only edible part unless you're Spanish) requires only a pair of scissors. I have a freezer full of them so thanks for the recipe. I often serve them with port, onion, thyme and juniper sauce.Charlie McVeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967002032615534706noreply@blogger.com
