How To Cook Wild Pigeon..Pan Fried Pigeon Breasts. 

I agree. my mouths watering just looking at it.

Jamie S how did you kill the pigeons?

+seththebard goatsghost same thing, just keep your pan hot when searing. You should keep in mind that an iron cast pot retains heat better, so adjust accordingly.

+Thatguyuknow2550 It is like the best steak you've ever eaten as he says. Cooked properly it is so soft and just divine. You have to try it!

+David Clements Agamey taste is like a strong , pungent flavour , much loved by the victorians, they commonly used to hang shot pheasants etc by hanging from a nail or hook under the beak and when the body fell away from the head they then considered it ready to be cooked, rather them than me , lol.

+rst4me100 Cheers Mate, sounds like rotten meat to me. I suppose gamey sounds better than Rotten Meat.

+Colson Customs That's all very interesting stuff

spoonballs yeah

+pl855p Spoon on the table, cheers

+pl855p Often when cooking you just eyeball the amount and adjust to taste - literally tasting as you go along and adding what feels right. Generally speaking, when you are adding "a couple of tablespoons" you should be thinking about the tablespoon as a measure, about 15 ml. If you're asking about the brown sugar, I'd say Scott landed two pretty solid ~15 ml pinches. If you were trying to make this, you could easily use a "spoon from the table" (or your fingers) and launch a couple of rounded spoonfuls in until you think it tastes sweet enough.

+Erik Schafer I was looking at it as more of a terminology difference, as he used ml and tablespoons for different ingredients. But the main point was that if you are not the best cook or good at eyeballing a couple of table spoons (from his table) is a third the amount of a couple tablespoons of empiric measurement. As for his fingers he is a big guy like me so i could could easily recreate the relative size but my sister or mother would need a few more good pinches ( which oddly is an actual measurement of about 1/4 gram)

+pl855p no one cares buddy

Austin Vanderheyden, I'm an amazing cook, baker, and have over 20yrs of experience slaughtering and butchering all sorts of animals both small and extremely large. As for measurements, if you don't know this all USA measurements and European measurements come with one side USA version, and the other side European versions. As far as the 'use your eye to measure, or pinching your fingers, as a measurement happens all around the world regardless of the size of your fingers. I'm actually quite small, but the rule of thumb is to start out with less and add to what your making in order to get the desired flavor you are looking for. If you go straight in heavy, you can't take that away and trust me it's a b*tch to try and fix. So start out fairly light and work your way up. The only way you're going to know how much to use when eye balling it is through lots and lots of practice. I hope that helps answer your question and concerns.

I was wondering the same thing

I wouldnt eat scavenger birds

@@coryparni3620 what’s the difference my friend? In your opinion. 🤔

Check their crop, if it’s all greens and seeds then you’re gold.

+1975acidburn tumors for the most part, and that's very very rare. the breasts should be cleaned/iced immediately and preferably eaten the same day. I eat/shoot dove in the wood side, never had city birds. like any other meat I assume it comes down to their diet? city birds tend to eat any and all, the birds I consume are all grain fed. one more thing, bird shot is very small, and usually passes straight through the bird, you seen on the vid evidence of that. in no way will it harm the meat.

+1975acidburn If you have ever seen city pigeons eating late night vomit from people who know not when to stop drinking then you would know not to eat them. Pigeons that feed over farmland are eating as nature intended but in doing so (in the numbers some flocks get to) they can cause a problem for the crop (Hence the main reason to shoot them) but are very good eating. I would check the crop/gizzard as to what it had been eating, this is a good indication as to whether the bird is healthy or not. Rob.

well said.

No, cassis is a blackcurrant flavor not commonly encountered in the states but it seems to me to be the basis of Worcestershire and the like. While very dense in the bottle, allowed to unfold properly in a game dripping dish it really makes the flavors of the earth come alive. Try it!

+Angur Boda These are wood pidgeons , wild rural birds mostly that create havoc with crops here in the uk . A million miles from the flying rats or more commonly known as city dwelling feral pigeons you get in the cities , which you would only eat if your life depended on it, in my humble opinion properly cooked wood pigeon is one of the finest meats you can get , especially if from shot to pan in about 1 hour .

+rst4me100 you're right, those are a little less bad :)

+Mirrim Blackfox This is red meat, like beef, duck, ostrich etc... you can eat these to what tenderness you want. For most white meat, you will have to cook it to welldone...

He made an analogy, I mean, Look at the lad.. Obviously he has.

im sure it was a joke or he might of done it in his younger years.

who cares though he makes amazing food.

wild game doesn't come with diseases like store bought chicken harbors

+NITEOWL22LR I'd assume he added the text to amend his error when he said 3-4. 2 mins would likely be rare, given their size and what not.

Using neutral oil feels more logical if you don't want to alter too much the taste of the meat They're also more convenient as they can have a higher smoke point than the extra virgin ones

+Gus Stone I dont think there are a lot of hunters shooting game in the city.

+Boris R haha. good point. lol.

+Boris R Pest control people routinely shoot city pigeons in some places, I'll bet you. Not so sure about eating them, either, but maybe we would be surprised.

+Gus Stone street pigeons are not game......

Gaston Deveaux this isn’t feral pigeon. It’s wood pigeon

I take it you didn't hear the part where he says WHY you have to serve pigeon meat rare. It runs it when you cook it well done, he says it right in the video...

I bet you're "that guy" who orders steak well done. Nobody wants to be that guy.

you're an idiot ...you just are.

Go to McDonald's then.
