Pigeons are a relatively uncommon bird in this country. They are usually only available in stores if you pre-order them. Pigeon meat is slightly reddish in color and very tender. Its aroma is quite strong and the taste is reminiscent of game.
Pigeon meat is suitable for various dishes. Young animals in particular are considered a delicacy. They are often fried or made into fricassee. Their flesh tends to be light-colored and very tender, while the flesh of older animals is significantly tougher. It is more suitable for braising, boiling, steaming, or steaming. The meat also goes well with soups or farces.
