Any of you gormets ever heard of them ortolan buntings? apparently they're so damn good you need to put a napkin over your head to hide the indecency of eating one from the man upstairs (and roger had a dmt trip from eating one.) I'm all for good food, but some people get pretty weird about it: found this quote on wiki. apparently its from someones blog.
OMG Ive always wanted to try one. I first read about it in one of Anthony Bourdains book where he talks about like a secret underground chef dinner and they served these bad boys up. Sounded like an amazing experience. Unfortunately, pretty sure eating them is illegal, but I may be wrong.
I would try that. It might be cruel but you know something? It sounds pretty tasty to me. I really don't care about the religious context though lol EDIT: Why would people make some food illegal? It makes me sad. Especially when it is not endangered or anything... Or food like casu marzu which isn't even cruel >_>
farms force feed the ducks and geese too. Just saying. Think about that next time someone mention foie gras or confit. It just don't sound bad when you don't know, humans had been doing fucked up things to other animals for ages.
Foie is amazing, ducks also arent endangered. Granted its shitty, but its worth it. I think thats why ortolan are illegal. I cant remember the specifics, I should go look it up.
it is not endangered man. If it is endangered it would make sense to me. I'm not saying it is not fucked up but it is just stupid to be not ok with this when they are ok with doing similar to ducks and geese. Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana) - BirdLife species factsheet
Like I said, I cant remember the exact reasons they are illegal. But on the for real, have u ever had foie?
for the people saying they would eat this...why in the world would you want to eat a bird whole? You enjoy eating it's entrails full of shit? And then having little bones cut open your mouth, and letting all that shit seep into your blood? NO THANKS!
Yes and it was good! However I had it when I was in china so it might not really be that authentic. And to answer turnoffyourmind, I had balut before and I ate it with bones and all. Considering that is is still a fetus the bones were not really hard at all. I also ate roasted quails before but I did not eat the bones on those lol, those bones are much harder being full grown birds... Which could be similar to these song birds. I won't know until I get to try it myself. Innards are pretty damn good if done right too! Sorry all, one of my life goals is to eat as many types of "bizarre" foods as possible so some things I say when it comes to food can be a little disturbing.
Organs are fucking delicious yo. And bones aint bad, they add a nice bit of texture and can be quite tasty sometime.
Lol rustycake, me and you are one in the same. I love all food and am willing to give everything a shot.
that^^^ was the part that sounded best to me?
