So, I recall that last year we discussed pigeons as a food source. Culinary enthusiasts will be happy to know that I have discovered some very interesting recipes involving pigeon that originate from North Africa. So, not only will we have our pigeons, but they will taste good...maybe. In any case, I am planning on doing further research on the matter, but I feel better knowing we won't necessarily have to develop our own recipes, thank heavens.
It needs to be simple recipes of things we can acquire. Baking is probably going to be the easiest way, whether from solar oven, conventional oven (both of which would have to be built) or by burying it. The ingrediants we can get are limited as well -- keep this in mind.
Down here in TX certain herbs grow in abundance - at my home mint is a weed now, but rosemary and basil also do very well. I'm sure in other regions other things grow easily. If there is enough of a plot of land to spare in your stronghold, a little natural spice might make the pigeon go down a little easier (plus the mint can be medicinal).[/

Problem is you REALLY do not want to eat city pigeons. They carry all sorts of diseases.[/
When in doubt, get a chainsaw.
That, my friend, is why the good lord brought us stew. Ya cook the heck out of the bird until any last trace of problem might be gone, after thoroughly cleaning the bird, of course. Then you season the food to your liking. However diseased the bird may have been, and however bad it would have tasted -- add enough salt, herbs and potatoes, and you will have a pretty good meal.
Also, good point about the herbs. Hypothetically I have a friend working on an article about natural medicines, but it is a bit slow in coming. I think she got distracted by chocolate.[/
Stuffed Pigeon is an article that may interest some.
