Wood pigeon is excellent in the slow cooker, i first tried it from a book with recipes for arthritis ie it includes celery. I get mine 'dressed' from a butcher at £1.20 each and fresh tastes better than frozen if poss. I prefer the whole carcase, lots to nibble, richer taste.

It takes say eight hours in the slow cooker, add vegetables at say just over half time otherwise they will be frazzled, I use celery, onion and quartered small/ med mushrooms all gently browned in a pan with butter, same with the whole bird before etc. Start with a chicken stock cube and a pinch of mxd herbs, one tbsp honey on top plus a sprig of rosemary. I never use the chopped bacon or sultanas as so often recommended. Lately I'm using a couple of glugs of red plonk a visitor left here (i don't drink wine) and it really lifts it to something special.

Feast like a king for little money !

those arent pigeon breasts..! they are too big, a woodie breast is half the size of those….. and dried mushrooms from the supermarket

Because it is dead. Sadly we do not have the skills to restore life back to the dead.

Yeah, there is nothing quite like the smell of a turned Rabbit. Lol. Got to get Rabbits fresh and get rid of the glands as they very quickly turn the meat.

Cheers. Yeah I usually do it fresh. Man, it must have turned quickly – less than a day!

She's never been sick eating road kill

This is a serious (not comical or trolling) question:I live in a very hot and wet climate. The window of time is very short to collect roadkill after it dies. I have heard that there are traditional processes that will actually make flyblown meat safe, though its taste is compromised. I think it make have to do with smoking or drying or salting. I'm not sure. So I'm wondering if this is true, and if so how it's done. There are so many beautiful things that get killed here that are edible: deer, fowl, alligators, small mammals. I could quit buying meat altogether if I could preserve the meat and make it safe. Any idea about how to rescue flyblown meat? Thanks in advance.

My family dose it cus we're poor Actually -_-

Does anyone know if a deer hit and killed in sub-freezing weather is okay to thaw and eat
