garethstroud 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 It's very nice with small pieces of black pudding and crispy bacon in a warm salad. Good luck - I hope you manage to convert them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Grant 4 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I assume you have hung them for a bit and de-breasted them. Soak them in a mixture of milk and water overnight. Should take away most of the game taste. Drain and use your recipe of choice. Hope you convert then. Second time around, dont soak them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Saute them with a little chopped shallot, butter and balsamic vinegar. Serve with Oatcakes or a couple of soldiers of toast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fat-Ferret 857 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 This is the best one I have found yet http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs...recipe_p_1.html I wouldnt soak it in milk, whats the point in having pigeon if your trying to do away with the game taste....? You might as well cook crappy chicken from tesco if your going to do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 615 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Saute them with a little chopped shallot, butter and balsamic vinegar.

This is the best one I have found yetI wouldnt soak it in milk, whats the point in having pigeon if your trying to do away with the game taste....?
