The ****.....? They actually put a hanky over their heads while they eat it....

Anthony Bourdain, the American chef, recounts in his book Medium Raw, the experience of eating ortolan. "With every bite, as the thin bones and layers of fat, meat, skin, and organs compact in on themselves, there are sublime dribbles of varied and wondrous ancient flavors: figs, Armagnac, dark flesh slightly infused with the salty taste of my own blood as my mouth is pricked by the sharp bones. As I swallow, I draw in the head and beak, which, until now, have been hanging from my lips, and blithely crush the skull."
