At Lunch Now: Pigeon Peas is Different Than Pigeon

As suspected, the Trini Paki Boys Cart (on 43rd and 6th) was not selling pigeon today, but pigeon peas- as part of a chicken "pelau" introduced yesterday. The dish is a traditional Trinidadian rice dish that they plan on having every Tuesday and Wednesday. Full report coming soon. (Oh, and btw… tomorrow is goat biriyani day at the cart. Maybe not as exciting as pigeon, but it’ll have to do.)

    @dubs: What were they doing, clubbing them over the head and tossing them on the flat top?

  5. what a RIP! I was looking forward to the pigeon, wanted to see if street pigeons would fight over it if any fell to the ground.

  6. I feel a lot better now about that pigeon kebab I had last week … twas just peas!

  7. Pigeon is delicious, I’m pretty disappointed. I was really looking forward to squab from a cart…
