Heh heh.

As my wife is Chinese, we often eat pigeon -- it's very good, a little gamier and drier than chicken, but quite tasty. When my mother was alive, we used to tell her we were ordering squab. She tried it and agreed it was quite good. She passed away a few years ago and we never told her she had been enjoying pigeon -- she was from New York. She'd have been appalled!
