About Pigeon meat
Pigeon meat is meat from a pigeon, but the name alone does not establish the bird’s species, age, or whether it is a domesticated meat bird or a wild bird. It is generally sold as whole birds or cuts, with dark, lean meat and a pronounced savory flavor. Texture and appearance vary with the bird and the cut.
It can be roasted, braised, or cooked by other methods suited to the particular bird. Young pigeon sold for meat may be marketed as squab, while older birds can differ in size and firmness. Because the broad term covers different birds and cuts, it does not describe one standardized ingredient or a fixed nutritional profile.
