Nah the pigeon is cooked in a pan along with this really thick and savory herbal sauce
😂 Trust me it tastes nothing like it looks!
Chef looked at shit on a shingle and said they could make it shittier.
Looks like chicken mole. Hope to try it sometime (maybe at a more simple restaurant).
For something as common as “poultry in sauce” it sure looks like an industrial accident.
"Mphhuhuhuhu, go on, eat it. It's a traditional dish here."
Is this a before or after shot?
Tried pigeon in Chicago's Chinatown. It was the gamiest thing I have ever tasted. I normally like gamiey meat but this was too much.
Had cuy (Guinea pig) in Peru; another hard pass
that looks like sludge
Pigeon is pretty good, only had it once though.
Shitty foodporn.
Waiter, why did someone splatter diarrhea all over my dish?
You shouldn't eat rock doves they are very dirty birds and you can get pretty sick.
