Pigeonless Moroccan Pigeon Pie

A few days ago I made bastilla, the famous Moroccan pigeon pie, except with chicken. Traditionally it is made

using young pigeons or squabs but I do not know where I can obtain them besides catching the vermin which sits

on my roof. I don't think this is a good idea. I wonder where squab can be obtained and what people are doing with it.

In the ME, pigeons were an important source of food as can be seen from the dovecotes dug out in caves around the country.

It seems like now, at least around here, nobody regards pigeons as food.

Cheers, Sarah

You should be able to special order from a butcher. Pigeon(vs. Squab which is the younger animal) is really nice, much closer to duck than chicken...
