True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, Jean-Pierre and Genevieve, showing us how it’s done!

The imported NoMU poultry rub comes in handy

I should add that they weren’t your usual pigeons that you find loitering around the Grand Parade. They’re a lot smaller than that. You can check them out before we plucked them here (caution – dead birds!). Be sure to check out the rest of the stream of pics here. Or follow us directly on Twitter here.

What does this have to do with a pelican eating a pigeon, you ask? Hah! Just you wait and see!

I’ll tell you shortly.

Some Johnnie Walker Black was added to the pot and a match was lit.

Voila!

So we grazed on some pigeon for lunch, as well as some super-human sized steaks and terribly tasty chops to fill the gaps!

But then, not two hours later, and completely coincidentally, I received the following video from a 2oceansviber – entitled Pelican Eats Pigeon!

I followed the link and noticed that the YouTube video had been seen nearly two million times. Jeepers Hudders! It is actually called “The Original Pelican Eats Pigeon Video,” suggesting there might be some pretenders out there. Goodness me, I have obviously been out in the wilderness too long!

And so here it is, the reason for this entire article – the completely coincidental Pelican Eating a Pigeon!

Now that was not how we did it in Provence!
