Eating dead stuff from the garden

[James J]

Looks awesome!

 

[Nevakonaza]

Looks good,Never tried pigeon is it a strong taste?

 

[Jonny69]

Not as strong as other game like pheasant or wild rabbit. It's quite a nice taste actually, sort of between lamb and beef but without any fattiness because it's very lean

 

[MooMoo444]

I wouldn't, but I'd be lying if I said that plate didn't look delicious.

 

[topgun06]

You have guts....


I wouldn't think of doing it.

 

[DirtyJester]

Ever tried beaver?

nope, cannot say I have, although I will give it ago if you can source one!

Knock yourself out....


WARNING!!! Contains beaver picture!

Hey what about seagulls?

 

[DirtyJester]

Hey what about seagulls?

Surely you mean beach chickens?

 

[alexakasloth]

Can you go and catch seagulls, i.e set a trap for them box, twig and string style?

Great thread Jonny

Hey what about seagulls?

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

Hey what about seagulls?

I've heard they taste fishy. No idea if it's true or not

 

[randomshenans]

Our French friend is old school, he sails and is like 75 now but used to go out sailing for weeks and catch sea gulls off the back of the boat and eat them.

I'd like to publicly admit that this was absolutely delicious. I don't know what they feed country pigeons on, but the ones that live in town are slightly more mellow in taste

I decided to cut my risks by only eating the breasts, so the legs and wings are in the freezer for later! On the plate is a nice pile of buttered spinach on the left; on the right is baby new potato sautéed with lardons from my own home-cured bacon, green beans, garlic and balsamic vinegar; the pigeon is simply pan-fried in the fat from the lardons and well seasoned. I didn't cook it too pink just in case.

If it's my last meal, I loved it

you are a great cook!

wild animal meet may have parasites...... I hope you cooked it thoroughly.

I passed a dead magpie last night. Probably bounced off a car. I probably should have, shouldn't I

Oooh no way One for sorrow

 

[Jonny69]

Don't know if that counts if it's dead does it?

 

[jizzyJames]

Looks delicious; kudos for doing that - was it evident what wounded it?
