DD> Title: Pigeon Cacciatore

Nice squab story.  I've never eaten pigeons that i know of.  I read a
local history about Chinese miners who were here during the gold rush.
According to this book, they were reluctant to eat Western food and
commonly imported and grew & raised their own ingredients.  However,
they did hunt and gather.  One story was about a western miner who
tried a Chinese dish prepared with crow meat.  He wrote that he had
tried crow before and it never tasted good, but it was delicious in
the Chinese dish.

By the way, i am curious about your recent batches of "Hard Times"
recipes.  Some of them don't strike me as the kind of food i would
imagine eating in hard times.  Cakes, strawberries dipped in candy
grade chocolate, etc.  How did you select those recipes?
