There were some oven ready pigeon in the supermarket just befor Christmas at 18 euro each.

thats a shocking price but they are nice and as treat are well worth the effort but not practical as an every day meal

Thanks for some nice recipes; you have taken over the role of the Forum's resident Gourmand.

thank you thats very kind

i do hope others will share there recipes as i am always willing to learn new ways of cooking

[azrael]

for those who struggle to find the non average meats you might like to look at this web site

it has pigeon, qual, hare, partirdge, boar and lots of normal and exotic meats

even does some strange ones to me like ostrich, kangaroo and bison

its an interesting site even if you are not a foodie type and good source of recipe tips

i would love to hear about one if some body knows one

i will try most things but never had the pleasure of dining on alligator but have been watching a show called swamp people on tv and they do look fun to catch and the meat does look interesting

i certainly would not be turning my nose up at a plate of alligator jambalaya

i am not thinking that pigeon breast would look very nice out of a microwave

it may taste fine to eat but i think it would not look very appetizing

please explain what is lard?

does it matter what it looks like?

food should be a pleasure to the eyes and not just your taste buds

[chesters1]

food should be a pleasure to the eyes and not just your taste buds

so you can never eat in the dark or be blind?
surely that should read IMHO food should be a pleasure to the eyes and not just your taste buds or is it an order ,does it need to taste fine as well? ,food is just something you poke down your throat to keep you alive
your entitled to enjoy it and even linger over eating it (sounds a bit foreign to me) i just eat the stuff as quickly as possible and do something constructive with the time saved

i used to waste time with lots of strange ingrediants but noticed it didnt make a jot of difference to the stuff that went down the bog it just wasted time in between.
i love food or is it bulk protein and stuff ,theres not a lot i haven't tried especially concerning meat including things found lying around.
at the moment i have a big box of army puddings ,supposed to be "sponge" according to the printing but like hard rubber ,it all goes down fine though in the light or at night ,it does what its supposed to

i have never "got" the idea of buying something then making it taste like something else as so called cooks appear to (or more likely bunging in many flavours because you cant cook at all to hide the fact),if you want to taste pork just eat pork ,if you want to eat pork quickly microwave it and if your fussy close your eyes when you eat it
you wont catch me eating where any "cooks" or "chefs" prepare your food i bet phloem ,snot and sweat and dandruff are not on the ingredients list nor the "best before" either

This is a joke, right? Your a cook and you don't know what lard is?

That's unfair. He might never have been to Wolverhampton.
