Pigeons

Pigeons should always, if possible, be drawn as soon as they are killed, then well washed and thoroughly dried. They are trussed by cutting off the neck, also the toes at the first joint, then crossing the wings over the back and securing these with a skewer thrust through them and the body; they are then ready for roasting.
