    My wife has been feeding the birds for years with fat balls and nuts (costs a bomb but we are doing our bit) Every morning regular as clockwork 2 fat pidgeons sit under the table and mop up the bits the small birds drop BUT one of them can't wait and has started munching my broccoli ans pak choi.
    QUESTION what is the correct gas mark for roast pigeon stuffed with broccoli and pak choi!!:scratch:

    About gas mark 5 I reckon. Wrap them in foil, and pour some cheap white wine and some thyme in with them:)

    And don't forget to take the feathers off, while Broccoli and Pak Choi may go nicely with it.:thumbsup::heehee:

    Pigeon meat is quite hard, purple and not lot of flavours in it, similar to guinea fowl...If I really have to go for "wild" I much prefer reindeer.

    It depends how its prepared. It can be delicious, but equally it can be horrible. Funnily enough, the times I've enjoyed it it was cheap or prepared at home. The one time I hated it was at an expensive hotel that I had to stay in because there were no vacancies elsewhere in the area at the time. It was chewy and horrible.

    I had some pidgeon a few weeks ago in a hotel and whilst it tasted nice I found it was a bit like over-cooked liver as far as texture was concerned.
