There is a folk saying: one pigeon can peak nine chickens. From the view of nutrition, a pigeon’s eating quality may be not better than nine chickens, no matter from the content of protein, or from the content of vitamin, microelement and mineral composition. However, the folks think it is better to drink semen of pigeon for those persons who are low physical strength, declining sexual desire and who hope to make them strong. It produces instant results. Here “semen” refers to the best feature which exudes from pigeons when it is put into the steam box after they are killed. It contains many kinds of nourishing elements. It can make coddles stronger after drinking semen and eating meat of pigeons. It is more effective if taking some traditional Chinese medicine.

Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine recommend putting 30g medlar and 9g bark of eucommia into the belly of pigeons and boil them. In addition, put some green onion, ginger, pepper and proper salt. After boiling, have a good taste. Eat meat together with soup, one day one time. After several days, it is very helpful for kidney. What is more, it can cure lumbago, lassitude in loin and legs. It can get a good result within few days.

In addition, pigeon meat with deep fry is nourishing. Concrete operations are as follows: Wash the pigeon meat and remove moisture. Put pigeon into the wine with garlic juice to remove fishy smell. Then deep fry it in creeping fire to be golden and take it out. After that, dab on some garlic spread, and then it is ready for eating. You can eat sparrows and quails like this and they have same effect, but they are in poor relation compared with pigeons.
