Probably due to supply and demand. Used
to be able to buy 10 for a buck chicken
wings. The last batch I bought was 12
for around $6.00. They’ve become very
popular with the “wingstreet” crowd.
Got hooked on bird hunting and have
eaten just about every kind of duck,
quail, pheasant, goose, and sandhill
crane. These weren’t cheap, as license
fees, decoys, ammunition, waders, a
shotgun, and a warm, waterproof
parka, add to the cost.
I’ve seen squab on the menu at some
restaurants, but didn’t think a Pigeon
was worth $25.00 plus tip...
Scarcity, inflation, and "trends" have a lot to do with prices and always has.
