    • i'm currently experimenting with doing my own curing/air drying. just need to find a way to keep all the cats and foxes (and probably rats) away while it dries.hans_glib
    • At the most basic level, all you really need is a fridge modded for additional ventilation. That should keep curious critters from getting to the good stuff.Continuity
    • Eugh, pigeon. No thanks. Once and never more again.Nairn
    • love pigeonhans_glib

    • @hans - maybe the stuff I had wasn't good (certainly the rest of the fayre wasn't amazing) but I found it incredibly dry, bony and meatless.Nairn
    • only the breast are worthwhile unless you like sucking bones (which i do). and yes it needs to be stewed ideally, or else it can be very dry.hans_glib
