I shouldn't admit to this but I will anyway:
Waitrose, the posh supermarket in Brighton, had a vaccum packed wood pigeon in the freezer (it looked like a small chicken) and we were so fascinated with it that we bought it, named it (can't remember what) and brought it to the opening of Pacha London.
It was quite a glamerous night all things considered and everybody was dolled up in their nice clothes...and there's us lot in the corner dancing around a skanky pigeon (oh how I wish we'd known about the throwing game in those days!)
...God knows how we got it past security but my friend's hoody was covered in blood by the time we got in because he had it up his sleeve!Imagine explaining a pigeon to security on the way in to Pacha!
See, I told you I shouldn't have admitted to that!

Seriously Sil I could never eat it in a million years but The Ivy, Le Caprice, a couple of the Conran restaurants all have pigeons on the menu (and it's not cheap either, one of the more expensive dishes

I imagine is something cultural, pigeons to me are flying rats, and you can explain me as many sophisticated stories as you want, but that wouldn't change my mind

No they're flying rats to most people I know as well but for some reason some people consider them a delicasy (sp??), probably in similar way to frogs legs and snails are considered delicasy
