Wild Pigeon Breast Fillet, Previously Frozen

Pigeon is a rich, succulent, fine grained meat that’s much darker than chicken. Wild pigeons eat a varied diet that includes berries, seeds, nuts and greens, all of which add to the flavour of the meat. Wild Pigeon Breast Fillets are a real delicacy that taste best cooked pink. Pigeon has a complex, earthy, gamey flavour with a touch of minerality. It pairs well with strong flavours, from blue cheese to berries and bacon.

Pigeon meat is also highly nutritious. It’s rich in protein and in nutrients including iron, B vitamins and phosphorous. It’s also a sustainable source of meat that’s in ready supply in the UK, meaning it’s a good option if you’re trying to keep food miles low.
