Mountain Micks Roasted feral pigeon not squab
© Mick Blake 1991
We still eat feral pigeons and we have done so since I was a kid. My mum used to cook them rolled in herbed bread crumbs and baked in butter in the oven slowly. The tougher ones make lovely stews and pies and when we were kids were used to steal the young ones out of the nests before they fledged. the way I like to eat them is spatched cocked and marinated and grilled on the bbq.
Another nice way is to mainate them, just the breasts only.
The marinate is
250ml Zesty Italian dressing
1/2cup Soy sauce
1/2 Red wine,
pinch dried Tarrogon
pinch dried Rosemary
6 clolves garlic
1tsp onion salt
1tsp Garlic salt
1 tblsp Worcestershire sauce
1tsp meat tenderiser or biocarbonate soda
2 rashers of streaky bacon per pigeon
Marinate overnight, and then wrap the beasts in really fatty streaky bacon. Bake in the oven or gill on the bbq basting with the reamining dressing. Serve with a garden salad.
Enjoy MM

Thinking back,mind you it was at least 40 years ago.
The pie had a meat ( I think Beef ) bottom layer. with the pidgeon bits layed on top.
