bird that is illegal to eat in france?
ortolan
the bird is roasted for eight minutes and then plucked. the consumer then places the bird feet first into their mouth while holding onto the bird's head. the ortolan is then eaten whole, with or without the head and the consumer spits out the larger bones. the traditional way french gourmands eat ortolans is to cover their heads and face with a large napkin or towel while consuming the bird. the purpose of the towel is debated. some claim it is to retain the maximum aroma with the flavour as they consume the entire bird at once, others have stated "tradition dictates that this is to shield – from god’s eyes – the shame of such a decadent and disgraceful act", and others have suggested the towel hides the consumers spitting out bones. this use of the towel was begun by a priest, a friend of jean anthelme brillat-savarin.
