Brace of Whole Wild Pigeons
2 x Whole pigeons - A sustainable, lean and delicious addition to our range of game!
Unlike our other game birds, Pigeon is not reared for sport. It is, in fact, considered vermin. Capable of decimating crops, it is hunted out of necessity to protect our agriculture. This makes pigeon arguably the most sustainable of all the meat available to eat in the UK. Pigeon spends a greater amount of time in the air and works its muscles harder than other birds, it is this reason that it resembles the other darker fleshed game like duck and goose. A brace of pigeon can be served with some lovely mushrooms.

Pigeons are shot all year round, with no closed season. They are hung for a week and the meat becomes tastier and more tender, we have seen to the messy job of prepping and plucking. Cooking Pigeon is relatively simple. So set the crockpot to low, be patient, and enjoy.
