I live in NYC and went to this nice place tonight. They had pigeon on the menu. How could I NOT order it and figure out if it was with the $30 price on the menu?

It was delicious, a little bit like duck. But it was doused in some sauce so its not like I had the "pure" experience

you know how many times i can to bojangles with 30 dollar bucks.

12/13/2007 2:02:29 AM

i cant believe a shitty, shitty bird like pigeon cost you $30

12/13/2007 2:04:00 AM

when i walked to work in manhattan id see one get smooshed every day

12/13/2007 2:05:31 AM

People eat doves. Doves are just white motherfucking pigeons. Why the fuck would someone want to eat a pigeon?

12/13/2007 2:07:06 AM

I know quail is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

12/13/2007 2:07:52 AM

when i was in china i got a whole damn duck for like 8 dollars. it was a really famous duck restaurant and even though it was the most expensive place we went the whole time, it was very reasonable.

still, pigeon on the menu in NYC is surprising to me. can you imagine the profit potential!

Why the fuck would someone want to eat a chicken?
Why the fuck would someone want to eat a duck?
Why the fuck would someone want to eat a turkey?
Why the fuck would someone want to eat a cow?
Why the fuck would someone want to eat a goat?
Why the fuck would someone want to eat a sheep?
Why the fuck would someone want to eat a pig?

12/13/2007 2:22:10 AM

the proper term is not pigeon... it's "squab"

that way people don't have to make peace with eating a winged rat.

12/13/2007 2:28:46 AM

^is this similar to a squirrel? cause that's definitely a rat in a tree but they're SUPER TASTY.

12/13/2007 9:22:21 AM

I have a bizarre affinity for pigeons.

Once we ate a a robin when I was at my vegetarian boarding school

It was kinda like chicken but not as good

It probably would have been better if we cooked it with something better than tin foil and a lighter

12/13/2007 9:34:54 AM

wtf

12/13/2007 9:35:17 AM

I know right

12/13/2007 9:35:39 AM

They found a dead bird on the campus of my high school once, and this crazy bitch who thought she was a vampire freaked out and wanted it really badly so she could take it home and ... I don't know what she planned to do with it, but it wasn't so she could eat it.

I kind of don't know what the hell to think about this.

12/13/2007 9:39:38 AM

I don't think I have ever heard of vegetarian boarding schools but apparently they exist...

I've got this hilarious image in my head now of a bus boy being sent outside to get more pigeons, and him walking out the front door and just smashing the first one he sees with a shovel.

I eat pigeon all the time. Its one of my favorite meals back home. They are actually raised on farms and NOT the pigeons you see in trafalgar square in England.

Pigeons >>> Chicken.

12/13/2007 10:46:44 AM

squab

12/13/2007 10:49:23 AM

^^^LOL

^^it was actually quite delicious. And I prefered the leg meat to the breast.

12/13/2007 1:21:14 PM

its best when its stuffed with rice.

12/13/2007 1:23:03 PM

i had it with some blueberry sauce recently, not bad

more like pheasant than duck imo

12/13/2007 1:58:02 PM

did you go to dorsia?

Patrick Bateman loves to eat there

12/13/2007 3:20:47 PM

pigeons are nothing more than flying rats.

12/13/2007 3:21:51 PM

they probably trapped that thing on the sidewalk out back

12/13/2007 3:27:04 PM

someone find the trigger happy tv dude in a pigeon costume sketches

12/13/2007 3:49:47 PM

i ate a pigeon


and she gave me herp

12/13/2007 4:43:03 PM

SQUAB

12/13/2007 4:46:11 PM

squab is technically a baby pigeon


they should call it "Nigger Duck"

12/13/2007 4:50:14 PM

I ate that once in Luxembourg. I agree with it being on par with duck.

12/13/2007 5:16:03 PM

duck

still a pigeon, though, amirite?

12/13/2007 5:17:47 PM

did you get to go up on the roof to the coop and pick your own like you can do with lobster in some seafood restaurants?

12/13/2007 5:18:47 PM

I had partridge in Toledo, Spain. It was fantastic.

12/13/2007 5:19:47 PM

^^^i mean....a baby pidgeon is a little smaller than an adult

it makes a difference if you are paying 30 bucks

12/13/2007 5:21:27 PM

Also, adult pigeons are rarely served in restaurants. They tend to get VERY gamy.

Pretty much if it was roasted and served, it was squab.

If it was braised or some other long, moist cooking method, it was likely pigeon.

I've had pigeon stew, but I'm not sure I would pay $30 for it. why not just go to your local park and catch one. be a lot cheaper.
