pigeons, the other other white meat

Friday, August 15 2008 12:04 PM

So yesterday I was driving through the parking lot at my office avoiding running over pigeons scampering around here and there, and it occurred to me, why don't we eat pigeons?  I mean, really, is there something inherently wrong with them?  Are humans by default allergic to them?  Think about it, they're freakin huge, like twice the size of a dove or a quail, they're eeverywhere, and it seems they're pretty dumb (like I said, almost ran over like 3 of them).  Should be a no brainer right?  Maybe it's cause they make that cute "coo" sound.  That's stupid though cause doves kinda do that and on top of it, they're like the symbol for peace but we eat the hell outta them.  What are pigeons the symbol for?  Bird-shit-covered windshields?

All I know is, if I were a homeless dude, and were in need of a meal, I wouldn't think twice about goin Bear Grylls on a pigeon or two and cookin them over one of those bum-community fire barrels.  I mean all ya gotta do is post up next to an old person with some bread crumbs on a park bench and they come right to ya!  I'm sure just like everything else, it tastes like chicken.  Who knows, maybe in 50 yrs or so that saying will change and everyone will be sayin, "Yeah it's pretty good...tastes like pigeon".
