PIGEON AND NETTLE DINNER COOKED ON CAMPFIRE

Vid showing field preparation of pigeon, nettle gathering and cooking the pigeon and nettles over open fire using billy can. The pigeon was shot in the morning using a Ruger .22 caliber rifle using a Winchester subsonic hollow point bullet. I thought it would be a nice idea to cook and eat it outdoors and cook some fresh nettles to go with it. Nettles are an abundant source of nutritious plant food full of iron and minerals and sting goes when they are cooked. Avoid harvesting nettles from road verges and farmland as nettles might be contaminated with pollutants and only pick tops of new growth. Nettles taste like a milder form of spinach when cooked. I made a bit of a hash of the pigeon prep as felt under pressure to get the job done quick and knew I could only do that section in one take...lesson learnt! Pigeon is very tasty, it is not in my opinion a strong meat in taste. I was pleased to be able to utilise the pan from the zebra billy can and will now try to cook other things in it apart from eggs. Thanks for watching!
