I have the book The Basque History of the World.
There is a comment about Basque being Apple Country and mentions apple
juice. Though it only gives 1600s as a date of the comment.
There is a saute' pigeon recipe that is dated 1920. Pigeons cooked in wine
were alleged to have been prepared by monks for pilgrims. And hunting wild
pigeon in near the pass of Ibaneta was regulated in 1590 Fuero of Navarra.
I understand that morningdoves are not on the no shot list. (just kinding)
Traditional Basque Cooking: History and Preparation, is one of the recipe
sources in the Basque history of the world book.
ABEBooks has it.
