| has gloss | (noun) an unfledged pigeon squab |
| has gloss | eng: In culinary terminology, squab (probably of Scandinavian descent; skvabb, meaning "loose, fat flesh") is the meat from a young domestic pigeon. The word squab was formerly used to describe young birds from several species, but has since come to mean young pigeons and their meat. historically, squab or pigeons have been consumed in many civilizations, including Ancient Egypt, Rome and Medieval Europe. From the Middle Ages a dovecote (French pigeonnier) was a common outbuilding on an estate that aimed to be self-sufficient. In medieval England, squab meat was "highly valued", although its availability depended on the seasons - in one dovecote in the 1320s, nearly half the squabs produced were in the summer months, and none were in the winter months. Caelius Aurelianus, a Roman physician, regarded the meat as a cure for headaches, but by the 16th century, squab was believed to cause headaches. |
