Pigeon Pie Tradition / Ritual in Tales from the Peppermint Twist | World Anvil

Pigeon Pie

Pigeon pie a unique and delightful treat for some. For those living in the depressed and deprived areas of our fair cities a hot pigeon pie gives them a lovely warm comfortable feeling of home and family.   Pigeons, you  might think of them as a dirty filthy street bird. Nothing more than an avian pest. But for some of our citizens it is the only real meat they ever get to eat. Unless you count the rats and insects they might catch to add to their diets of soy.    To make a pie all one needs to do is take a soy pie crust from their friendly neighborhood stuffer shack, layer it with pigeon meat and various tinned vegetables, then cover it with the patented stuffer shack Holiday Dinner Gravy. Cover all that with another stuffer shack pie crust, pinch the edges and bake in your oven at 200C for 90 minutes during your daily ration of electrical power. For those with a gas cooker set the temperature to 175C.    If for some reason you do not have an oven, a handy survivalist rocket stove can be used. These are easily found at your local neighborhood E-Z Do it yourself home stores. Alternatively you could follow the Cooking Cheap trid channel by wrapping it in foil, setting it inside the engine block and driving for at least five hours. You say you do not own a car, well then hang off the back of a public bus while your pie sits against the exhaust for four hours.   It warms my cold black heart to see the little children of the lower income households chasing after pigeons with nets, or slinging stones at them. Just the other day there was an orc boy who stoned a pigeon on the 18th floor of his tower block. It is a shame he slipped and fell trying to retrieve that fine pigeon for his mother.

Fun article! Your writing is really humorous and rich in detail. I really liked the last part with the little orc boy, it kinda caught me off guard ':D Also, the use of a clear narrator voice in the last paragraph is not something I've seen a lot, and I like it!
