I`m sure you mean Woodpigeon? Pigeons of the variety you see in Trafalgar square are "rats with wings" Wood pigeon on the other hand are delicious - use the legs to make stock - marinate the breasts for 45mins then quickly pan fry in butter - serve with a suitable red wine/port based sauce DO NOT over cook that`s when they become tough & dry - keep them pink!!

Thats a shame - Im one of those people who likes to eat wonderful things like pigeons, rats and mongooses but i havent yet tried them. There are plenty of pigeons in the cities so why dont you buy a big net, catch a few, ring thier necks, pluch them and then put em in a stew. Mmmmmmmm pigeon stew.

Maybe this idea can help to feed the homeless. Pigeon stands around the globe offering pigeon sandwiches to the homeless at a very low cost.

Yes. I once had Wood Pigeon at a posh restaurant but it was like a dried up old boot! Save your money!

Pigeon has a very rich taste, but it is delicious. I have eaten it in pies, sandwiches and roasted.

I quite liked it, but don't think i will be making a habit of it. Especially when you see the scabby birds round here, pigeons that is!

I've had quail... and that looks very much like pigeon and tastes like chicken. Yea, it was good.
