• the “traditional” food i personally have no respect for is that little songbird the elite tier french aristocrats eat with the napkin over their heads to hide their shame from god.

    the ortolan bunting.

    major content warning if you look up the “culinary” use. i think many of the most aggressive carnists would not want to partake.

    everything about it is “im not just an asshole, i am the king of all the assholes and i revel in it.”

      I read the Wikipedia article, and that is certainly horrific. And you can see from the map how their range through much of France is now non existent

      But don’t forget how america raises and butchers it’s chickens. Something most consumers don’t think about for a second when they buy their $4.99 whole cooked birds from costco

      Do the French think God has a toddler-level object permanence?

      Also, why the fuck do you have to eat it like a cartoon cat eating a fish? Just be normal ffs

      The idiotic napkin thing and other rituals like soaking always get me.

      Your God is omnipotent and omniscient (that shit goes hard BTW), you can defeat his judgement with a napkin and a technicality? Are you sure?
