My Kitchen Rules team criticised for overcooked pigeon dish
On My Kitchen Rules, contestants Shane and Jane served a pigeon dish that they had hoped would impress their fellow contestants.

Judge Colin Fassnidge said it was overcooked and should have been served pink, while Manu Feildel criticised how the dish was executed.

What people are saying
The pigeon was overcooked! You have to serve it pink, otherwise it is overcooked,
It's like you know what to put together... but you don't know how to execute it!
It tastes really dry! It is the complete opposite of what we wanted, it is super dry, the pigeon is mummified!
This pigeon looks like it has been in the crematorium,
