squabs good meat. every pigeon in the US is descended from rock pigeon livestock from the $ettlers (the settlers which ate to extinction the only indigenous species, the Passenger Pigeon)
As a Cantonese person, Winter Melon soup is good. You can get it in the US, but it's with chicken, not pigeon. You don't just drink the soup, you scrape out the melon itself, so you get melon and bird meat in your soup. That soup is good on a cold day.
My greatgran used to make roast pigeon pies for our tea! She'd use a sling to knock them out of the mulberry tree in her backyard, next to the fields. It was so so good π
It's been decades since she passed and I miss her. Thanks for the memory!
Pigeons have been eaten all over the world for millennia. Theyβre basically just big doves. A little fattier usually, doves are quite lean. The flavors are much better in rural/wild pigeons than in a random city bird. Never had farmed, thought
Some southern states hunt doves and pigeons to eat. Usually deep fried of course. Just like most of the squirrel you'll get. I like having some other ideas to cook them.
Pigeons were eaten for years we even brought pigeons to the Americas as food they only got a bad reputation from living in dirty cities almost every historical country consumed pigeons if you get pigeons from a farm or wild caught in the countryside itβs probably cleaner than chicken they have amazing delicious red meat
I really love that "you can eat ANYTHING" philosophy. It makes for so many new and wonderful dishes. I wish more people over here didn't side-eye someone for eating rattlesnake, or alligator, or crickets, or scorpions; or act like eating dogs farmed for meat is somehow fundamentally different from eating pork (if you've never raised pigs, they are SMART and very sociable – they're just willing to eat dang near anything that you give them, so they're really good at converting table scraps or crops not up to snuff for grocery stores into delicious bacon).
I'm not saying everyone has to eat every single thing, there are things I don't like as much. But I don't act like people enjoying those things is some sign of deep and abiding evil.

The end is me when im near kfc but it makes sense hereπ
That all looks and sounds super good.
You donβt know where you areeeee!
Pigeons use to be part of the American diet, so it's not just something only Chinese people eat.
Is this chicken?
Meow meow

The gloves are one of the few things I miss about living in Asia,I hate greasy hands

People eat quails which are closely related to pigeons in western cuisine too. Especially French cuisine.
Says no chop sticks here then proceeds to show chop sticks in the next frame lol. Love the tea got my subscription today.
Pigeon is fancy meat in Europe. Its too gamey for most American tastes

I live in Florida and I have regularly seen chickens outside of certain KFCs, I wholeheartedly feel this πππ

Just like anyone that eats dove or quail in the us.

That is untrue. Cantonese people don't eat herbs.
To be fair, pigeons were introduced into a lot of places, even by westerners, as a source of food
So what does pigeon taste like?
I do love the unambiguous "this is finger-food, here's your glove."
