What is Squab?
A squab is a fattened pigeon that is not allowed to fly (so it's tender rather than sinewy). The squabs are sold when they are about 4 weeks old and weigh about a pound. They can be stuffed and roasted as you would a chicken or Cornish game hen.
Substitute for Squab
Cornish game hen, quail, or partridge or small chicken
Equivalents
1 medium squab = 12 to 16 oz.
