Wow, best or worst - not a lot of leeway
I'm going to ignore the rules, because I'm a maverick (and because I would never have an answer anyway).

One of the worst things I've ever eaten has to be pigeon. Twas Christmas of a few years back, and myself and the girlfriend's family were down in Arundel at a fancy hotel. All meals were included in the price, with some really nice stuff on offer. The meals were the conventional 'here's a list of mains/ starters/ desserts, pick one' affair, and lacking many options I'd consider for a starter, I picked out pigeon.

Now I was hoping for something decent, after all - it's meat. But the chefs scored an own goal right at the beginning by serving the bloody thing luke-warm. There is something between my tastebuds and my brain that goes 'luke-warm food, it must have been sitting out' and so every single mouthful made me retch.

It's a shame too, it looked delicious. I was tempted to flag the waiter down and ask him to bung it in the microwave for a minute or two.

I ate pigeon as a child, when my father had a passing fad for going out shooting them with my uncle.
The meat was stodgy and grey and had pellets in. I wasn't keen.

Sounds like batchelors 'meat' balls.

I have to say
Squab pigeon is one of the best bird meats i've ever tried. I suppose preparation makes as much (if not more) difference than the meal itself.

If it had been a little hotter, it probably would have tasted great. You've got me intrigued though, I'm always looking for new dead animals to eat.
