A young utility squab. Utility pigeons are domesticated pigeons bred to be a source of meat called squab. Squabs have been used as a food in many nations for centuries. [1] They were bred to breed and grow quickly. [2] Because they are bred for squab production, conformation to a show standard is usually deemed unimportant.
In parts of the world, squab meat is thought of as distasteful by some consumers because they view feral pigeons as unsanitary urban pests. [32] However, squab meat is regarded as safer than some other poultry products as it harbors fewer pathogens, [49] [50] and may be served between medium and well done. [49]
Ten pairs of pigeons can produce eight squabs each month without being fed especially by the pigeon keepers. For a greater yield, commercially raised squab may be produced in a two-nest system, where the mother lays two new eggs in a second nest while the squabs are still growing in the first nest, [22] fed by their father.

Here restaurants call it "pigeon" or "squab" depending on whether it's one or t'other. One of my recipes uses Cormorant, and notes for another, (the only one out of 7 that uses actual squabs!) suggests using young Cormorant as well or instead of squabs. The etymology is odd, given the rigidity with which the Saxon/Norman divide generally operates.
