Guest Owen Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 When I was a little boy a long time ago now, I'm 70, my Grandfather was pigeon mad. He had a small farm at the time. According to my Mother and her brothers and sisters he would disappear and they would usually find him sitting with his pigeons at the loft he had in a remote corner of his farm. I asked Mother if he raced his birds. No, she said, he just liked looking at them and watched them flying around the area. At that point I had quite a romantic picture of the old boy. Well, I said, if he didn't race them they must have been breeding so he must have had a heck of a lot. No, says Mother, every so often he would kill a lot off and your Grandmother would cook them for supper. Another image ruined.

Peckedhen Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I couldn't eat pigeon but I do know someone who eats their eggs scrambled and swears they make the best Yorkshire puds. Me? I throw the eggs into the field for the crows.
Guest marksimpson Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 good comment mate i like wood pigeon breasts fried in garlic oil
steve Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 the breast meat is nice fried or in a pie but you need a few for a pie when i raced few years ago at end of year all surplus were eaten but i remember when the pmv Vaccination started one was oil based (carnt remember which it was) but the birds done with this had a oily flesh and not nice to eat
cowman Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 couldnt eat mine there too fast ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D now thats whats known as fast food ;D
harky Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 thing is that what have they been treated for in the past in the old days they just fed the birds then had them for there teas but nowday most treat there pigeons with all kinds off stuff :-/ most of what we eat today is pumped up with steroids and anti biotics so i would not worry about it :)
