Second, nutrition. As the saying goes, "one pigeon wins nine chickens", the meaning is very clear. One pigeon is better than nine chickens. This "transcendence" mainly refers to nutrition. Pigeons and chickens have completely different living environments and lifestyles. It's really a world of difference, and the quality is naturally different.
Third, the taste. Pigeon meat is exquisite, small and sweet, suitable for barbecue and stewing. Except for roast squab, a famous Cantonese dish, most people eat old squab for more than a year and stew it for nourishment.
Especially in the current poultry market, the advantages of pigeon meat are more obvious. There are fewer and fewer chickens and ducks mainly raised in nature, and the market supply is basically kept in captivity. The taste and quality are really flattering. However, pigeons are still growing naturally. If you want to feed it with fast-growing feed, it won't eat yet. It is born to eat only one seed food. Therefore, free-range chickens and ducks are unpalatable, not to mention the natural growth of pigeons, which has an unusual advantage. Originally, native ducks were not as good as pigeons, but now they are worlds apart, and the benefits of eating pigeons are all there.
The most nutritious and delicious way to stew pigeons is as shown above. Chop a pigeon into eight pieces, put it in a pot with cold water, boil the water and skim off the foam, turn off the heat for two hours, and just give salt and pepper.
