This recipe was extracted from Mrs. Roundell's Practical cookery book (1898) by Roundell, Charles Mrs, page 189. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Stewed Pigeons.— The legs of Pigeons are much better used as giblets instead of being left on the birds. Take three or four Pigeons well cleaned, chop up the livers and put them inside the birds. Put the legs and all the giblets into an earthenware stewpan with carrots and onions sliced, a bunch of herbs, and a couple of slices of fat bacon. Lay the Pigeons on the top, and just cover the whole with broth
