Yummy… Crispy Dove

wonder why it never caught on as a jigae???

Did that come w/ the soju or the maekju?

I always wondered why Koreans dont eat pigeons/doves. I’m always hearing about how people starved and how Korea was such a poor country. I mean we eat a lot of weird shit which says something already. But why not pigeons/doves? There are plenty of them out there!

I just cant see a starving person pushing away a juicy plate of pigeon/rat when he is about to starve to death. Is it wrong for me to assume there are very low counts of pigeons/rats up in NK? I just cant picture someone choosing to die bc he does not wish to “stoop that low.”

It kinda reminds me of the “top-of-the-muffin to ya” episode on Seinfeld where Elaine is berated by a homeless shelter employee for trying to give away muffin bottoms to the homeless. I suppose in a relatively rich country, human dignity is also important but I am certain that in countries like Somalia, the muffin bottoms would disappear without any complains in a split second.

I prefer crispy duck myself, that’s good food indeed.

Especially with Chinese pancakes, Hoisin sauce and some green onion and cucumber. The only problem I see, is that to make a tasty dish the bird should have already to be plucked, gutted, hung and marinated.

Pigeon is good, if it’s a country pigeon rather than a winged rat.

#10, what size plate? just how many calories required to catch/prepare said bird vs. those contained within it’s “juicy goodness”, as you imply? what if the starving person doesn’t have the pinch of salt to put on the bird’s tail (in order to catch it)?

I’m thinking it’s not really an option without personal firearms and birdshot, a thing not really common in countries full of starving people. It’s not common in many places full of healthy people…

I suppose a variety of nets might work; but that would be nasty, thankless, dangerous work…

Wild mourning doves are hunted and eaten in Pennsylvania in the same hunting season as grouse and pheasants. All three are low in meat volume and high in fuss to prepare.

Two of those doves made anti-Korean remarks before they burst into flames.

That’s not true. I used to watch AFKN everyday in 2001.

I remember watching this live on television, wondering about the pidgeons — and frankly speaking, I don’t see any birds being roasted in this clip, but I did wonder about the matter at the time. Also, contrary to the intro on MH to this clip, these birds look wild and not those ready to be released.

In any case, 30 years ago, fried sparrows were widely sold under the streetside tents. My wife and I tried them once out of curiosity. I can tell you they were the most bitter morsel I have attempted to intake.

Regarding crows, there was an overpopulation in Japan until recently. One city in northern Honshu tried to make crow eating a delicacy but failed. Eventually the Japanese turned to netting and gassing. But since we are on the topic of big and ubiquitous birds not being eaten by any culture, consider seagulls. I bet they don’t taste like chicken. My guess is they probably taste like bitter oily fish – sort of like Shanghai cooking. Why the Shanghai folks don’t eat them must be the critters must taste even worse than the local dishes.

Most of the skewered chicken sold in the streets of Korea are actually made from U.S imported chicken (legs)

#8 Cuz no doctor nor myth saying it’s good for adjussi’s stamina or ajumma’s facial skin yet!

# 17,

You are forgetting rotten meat with the rotten taste drenched out with pepper!

As for the amount of meat, growing up back in Maine we used to hunt woodcock in the fall and they have little more meat than a sparrow.
