I'm not being sarcastic: can you eat pigeons that live in the city?
Advertisement
Is it illegal to eat them? I may need to know this at some point.

They used to call cats roof rabbits in Central Europe's hard times during and between World War I and World War II. I don't think I could bring myself to kill and eat a cat no matter how hungry I was. I could eat a pigeon though. I'm not fond of them.

Pigeons are better in Rome.



No replies as it is 2 minutes old.

Could be good.

If you're dumb enough to pay two grand a month in rent to live in NYC, I got no sympathy for you.

Cleita had some "helpful" advice. :rofl:

Not only can you eat city pigeons dummie, you can eat city rats too. Just find a steam vent and leave them on it for a couple of hours.

Newsflash--two grand a month won't even pay the maintenance fees on most places in Manhattan.

Oh, and pigeon?  There's another word for those--SQUAB.  Look it up, DUmmies.  Most "fancy" places in NYC charge a nice chunk of change for it...think $40 for some squab tortellini at Le Cirque.

Then again, I'm kind of doubting the ones used for food there feed on garbage, but whateva.

We used to catch wild pigeons and then raise them .  They were the country type pigeons not the city slicker type, though.

Serve them up on a nice slice of packing case and top with some discarded-pizza-box cheese !

57. please it is ILLEGAL to kill, cook, & eat the pigeons w.out a license in some USA cities

example, in san francisco, you could be charged w. animal cruelty

i strongly suggest you call a wildlife officer and ask what the local law is, of course feral pigeon is not protected as a native bird (it isn't a native bird) but nor is a cat a native mammal, yet if you catch, cook, and eat a feral cat, you can be charged w. animal cruelty in some areas...absolutely no different w. the pigeons...these are both descendents of animals that have a long history of companionship and service to humans -- how many cats have been awarded medals for honorable service in war? you may prefer cats to pigeons but the pigeon fanciers think otherwise and they do have tradition on their side...

 

However, it is an honor for your cat to be eaten by a hawk.

From what I can tell with city pigeons you wouldn't need a slingshot, just lure them in with some scrap bread and BAM! I would have thought a city dweller, not to mention a member of the intelligentsia might have figured that own its own.

I think it might be more interesting to see if the primitive can figure out how to prepare it. Maybe it could start a thread on whatever passes for a cooking forum to get that straightened out.

It is leagal in NH to raise dogs as a food source, the SPCA goes nuts when the Asian holidays come about and  they get requests for big dogs.

Check out cats, the Maine Coon Cat is considered the only indigenous cat to North America, may have a problem eating them without a license.  

Most birds are carnivores they eat worms and  road kill .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Mousy stew was a staple in Taiwan after the Japanese killed all the males.  

Head for the South west and rattle snake round ups.  Fried, boiled and in stew.  One whole country became famous for its fried frog legs.  Head for Scotland for a heaping helping of Haggas.

Sparky is most correct, a dove or pigeon is the same. When it was leagel to feed the darn things in city parks the people fed them popcorn, most likely the healthiest pigeons around.

Depression days people in the city raised pigeons on the roofs of apartments. Cheaper then chickens and they all way came home to roost.

DC.  A supermarket on Q street catered to the Embassy's and I was a bit unnerved at the bowls of Goat? eyes.

Hungry, go get yourself a brace of Doves or what ever you call them.  Clean and pluck the darn things,  marinade them for 12 hours in Sherry and what the heck thrown in some vodka., and a couple bay leaves.

Call in all your friends and as Hillneck says tell them you cooked up some Cornish hens.

Who's the DUmmie asshole that wants to eat pigeons?!?!?!

Like I said earlier Flippy, apparently squab is a real popular item in high-end restaurants in DUmmie enclaves like NYC, etc.  I did a little nadining of it and found out that they're raised much as regular pigeons are until they're about a month old, when they're near adult size but haven't flown yet.

So basically it's like raising veal or baby harp seal.  And even more surprising is how expensive they are--something like $8-9 per lb.  Compare that to what, 79 cents a pound for chicken?

Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a Freeper?

We've all seen quote after vile and hateful quote from the members of Free Republic. It's encouraged. With each post they try to outdo each other. It's that website's reason for being: "Christians" who hate.

Yes we fight and sometimes get very angry when we do. But there's a deep well of caring on Democratic Underground. It's encouraged and appreciated by everyone. It's this website's reason for being. The quickest way to get banned is to express hatred.

So I wonder what it's like to be a Freeper. To be consumed with hate. Day after day; year after year. Swimming in a pool of hatred.

I'm so glad I'm not a Freeper.

63. Uh, no, they're not

As a former farm boy who has hunted and eaten a lot wild animals I can tell you squirrels are not tasty in my opinion. They do not taste "just like chicken."

Deer meat when properly prepared can be quite tasty though.

You have to cut out the musk glands before you cook them, you phony former farm boy.

I was doing some thinking last night, and I began wondering if maybe this is code language for DUmmy advocacy of cannibalism.  We know that their political masters refer to extraordinarily stupid people - them - as "pigeons", after all.  It's quite possible that some of the - slightly - more intelligent of the below average are seeing the potential catastrophe on the horizon (even if they're buying the excuses and blame passing of their leaders lock, stock and barrel) and are making preparations for "going Donner" on the available food sources.

If a DUmmy desires your body, it's not for food.

He need your liver to replace his because of alcohol abuse.

Because of his acute alcoholism, he needs your pancreas as well to keep his diabetes under control.

He needs tour lungs to replace his as he destroyed his by too many bong hots.

He needs your heart because all the crystal he used caused his heartbeat to accelerate to such a high rate, that it is worn out.

He needs your kidneys because he destroyed his after ingesting drugs cut with toxins.

He needs your brain as he never had one.

I didn't say they were after OUR bodies, though this is further evidence of pretty poor thinking on their part. (Look for a second at how mor meat there is on one of us, compared to the typical, emaciated vegan and meth-head that makes up the faceless DUmmy mob of pigeons.) We aren't The Dhimmi'Rat Party's pigeons.

Only if you plan to cook and eat the glands.

Cutting the glands from a deer's back legs is a total waste of time.

It's just something some people like to do, like waiting thirty minutes after eating before going into the water.

They have nothing at all to do with the taste of the meat, and no processor pays them any attention.

No they won't. They're too damned stupid to learn from history. I'm beginning the think they're incapable of learning PERIOD, unless it is theory-based. These jackasses are still trying to sell Socialism as a good economic model. When it fails, they'll be right back here saying the only reason it didn't work is the right people didn't try it, or Obama was somehow a Republican.
