Sir, – Why all the hullabaloo over eating pigeon (Home News, December 13th)? As John Donovan lives in a semi-rural area we can safely assume he refers to the wood pigeon and not the feral pigeon found in cities. One of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten was a rabbit and pigeon pie at the much-lamented Drimcong House restaurant near Moycullen, Co Galway. – Yours, etc,
