Ortolan Bunting - "decadent and disgraceful" French delicacy

[Roscoe]

That's fucked up...

I saw something very similar in restaurant in Vietnam. Possibly because of the French influence. Diners were draped in clean sheet and a hood. They were served small birds (maybe rice birds) that were whole and fresh killed. The purpose of the drape and the sheet though was to keep from getting the blood on your clothes.

Pass. Eat them if you want but I don't believe I want to intentionally torture a critter before I eat it.

You eat lobster? or Crawfish? I'm no cook, but don't those get thrown in a boiling pot alive?

it's ok to torture crustaceans.
