People have traditionally eaten dove or some other small bird (as on the feast of the Ascension, because Jesus "flew" to heaven). The Rock Cornish hen makes a nice approximation of the dove. Here are two superlative recipes for this dovelike creature. Both feature mint, which can be bought fresh (or grown in your garden) at this season, and which has a wonderfully refreshing aroma and taste.
