Will Pigeon be the New Chicken?

I hope so. (Hi, Pat!) Wick sent me a link that suggests eating pigeon would be a good source of local protein. Was everybody born yesterday? (Don’t answer that.) Any of you geezer gourmets out there remember Callaud’s in Dallas? It used to be where Lola’s is now. Owner/chef Guy Callaud served squab all the time. Same goes for Mr. Chow. When I ate squab at Mr. Chow in the early ’80s, they served it in a bowl with a side of iceberg lettuce leaves and duck sauce. You assembled your own little lettuce tacos. Hey, that’s a neat idea. Somebody ought to do that around here. I bet it could be a big seller.

    Chef Callaud is alive and well and living in San Angelo as head chef at the San Angelo Country Club. Don’t think he serves squab there however. Still a great chef.

    I memba that place. It was the best. Also Ewalds and Patry’s. Don’t remember the squab but I wouldn’t eat a pigeon. They are so dirty.

    I’ve got two pigeon eggs in a “nest” on my patio right now. I’ve wondered if they would be best served over easy or scrambled.

    Don’t you mean where Lola WAS? Do you know of anyone that will be occupying that space?

  • Nancy Nichols

    Yes, Lola IS still open. What are you talking about?
