Dead Dove Dining at the Capitol
Some legislators take their job
very serious and work hard to solve the real problems that face
Michigan families, others just "do" the promotion of
dead doves ALL THE TIME. On September 22nd, Representative Tabor
and her cronies at the Capitol ate hundreds and hundreds of tiny
marble sized breasts of Michigan's doves.
Due to the fact that doves are at their lightest
body weight during open season, a properly shot dove yields
only a tiny tidbit of "edible" meat. Most recipes -
including the one used on Wednesday - call only for the use of
the breast of the bird. The breast flesh then has to be covered
in heavy sauces and wrapped in salted bacon to help cover up
the strong pungent sour citrus after taste. According to reports
from some legislators, doves weren't (as Susan Tabor would say)
"yum tasty." They had another word - YUK!
