Had dove once and it was good (wild, not farmed). Slightly gamy, therefore better than the chickens they breed all the taste out of.
Chicken that is fresh and was walking around the yard this morning is soooo different that the plain tasteless chicken that is sold in grocery stores. If Americans only knew what it really tastes like.....................
I knew an old timer who talked about shooting pigeons, wrapping them in clay, and setting them in a fire. When the clay hardened, you’d crack it open, and the feathers would come right off. He claimed it was very good, though I never tried it.
