I have eaten pigeon, dove and the like (duck, grouse, quail, pheasant, etc)
and squab is closer to grouse, dove , or pheasant, (except not as dry,
gamey, or chewy. )Pigeon/squab to not be very tender and slightly gamy (in
my opinion). Moist duck breast could be substituted as could dove, grouse,
pheasant, etc...You could also use chicken thigh (de-boned). Personally I
disliked pigeon and would opt for the chicken thigh:)
