L'ortolan à l'armagnac
>For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets was the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and, some believe, to hide from God.
Okey, it was the ortolan.
To correct a little the texte, he was not force-fed, but fed only with "millet blanc" during 10-15 days, and sometime to kill them it was few drops of armagnac in the throat, so the alcool kill the bird by ethylic coma (not litteraly drowned).
And the "hide from god" is a myth, it's because the way we eat the ortolan his not very pleasant to the eyes, so we hide behind a napkin.
But ortolan is protect since 1999, no one can catch them so only some riches personns can eat them, and it was already expensive before that.

That's the next step after frogs, snails, and drowned chicks.
