just fry it quickly, and chuck it between 2 rounds of bread, you ponce

[markgameforeverythin]

don't know if that will get you laid, but give it a go, best of luck nonce

If the bird is "shot up" it pays to leave it in kosher salt for an hour or two. It draws out the blood/toxins.

[mrbluntandupfront]

can you please tell me how long you would hang the bird for, is it a must, and I trap pigeons on the farm, do I just neck them or do they need bleeding?

I have tried eating doves that I shot, could never get the gamey taste out, I heard marinade works,then wrapped them in bacon.

looks like venison a bit after cooking and slicing.

@GuineaForce make sure its wood pidgeon not a feral, but if cooked the way mark showed you then it should taste very much like sirloin steak..

[warrenpwr]

[GuineaForce]

how does a pigeon taste like? xD

[ashling075]

i cook it the same as i cook pochard,tuftie and scaup duck breast... sliced mushroom,choped up bacon, chopped red onion. fry the onion,bacon and mushroom for a few seconds in olive oil.season the meat with mixed herbs and plenty of fresh black pepper. give it a quck fry and eat with chips. although when im cooking the duck i fry rice in the gravy add dark soya sauce to it all..

I once cooked a bat the same way, tasted like shit!!! But that was probably because i didn't got rid of the wings!
