squab

A squab is a young pigeon. The word usually refers to pigeons that are served as food.

Squab is not seen very often on Western menus. It is considered to be an expensive delicacy.

In the English-speaking world, I would guess that about half of university-educated people would know the word. It would not be as well known as "caviar" (sturgeon roe) as a symbol of a luxurious life style.
