What makes ortalon even more horrifying is that breaking the bones is supposed to make your gums bleed to "enhance the flavor." American Dad did not do this justice.
It's a shame Sam didn't include the quote of that one chef Anthony Bourdain that was eating Ortalon. That was some next level debauchery. Imma look if I can find it. Found it: “I bring my molars down and through my bird’s rib cage with a wet crunch and am rewarded with a scalding hot rush of burning fat and guts down my throat. Rarely have pain and delight combined so well. I’m giddily uncomfortable, breathing in short, controlled gasps as I continue slowly - ever so slowly - to chew. 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.”
As a Jamaican, we know how to prepare ackee. Ackees open on the tree when they are ready. The real problem is when you purchase canned ones or from street vendors, you don’t know if THEY waited or decided to cut the ackee themselves.
Thanks for the tip! Ackee is something I found out from this video that I actually want to try someday, but it would probably have to be a while in the future
The really messed up thing about the shark fins is that a lot of time when they cut the fins off the shark it is still alive and is thrown back into the water. Without it's fins the shark can do nothing but sink to the bottom and suffocate.
It gets even worse. Apparently, you're supposed to break and crunch the bones with your teeth and let it prick your gums and the inside of your mouth until you start bleeding because the blood adds flavor...somehow...
The ortolan was even mentioned in COD WW2, “take the ortolan; that tiny, delicate songbird. It’s eyes poked out so that it can gorge, and then it’s drowned in cognac it’s ingenious. I’m not sure what I’ll miss more; savouring the sweet flesh, or watching it thrash to death.”
Looking at ackee it doesn't seem that dangerous as long as you're patient. The fruit rippens by splitting open, once it does the chemical that makes it dangerous will go away rapidly. Just wait and wash it once it's ready. Kinda wanna try it now
I heard of cazu martzu from a RUclips-channel, "Why Would You Eat That" and a Gordon Ramsey video. I also heard about shark-fin soup from the tidbit that Steve Irwin protested against it, hardlined.
I only heard of the last one because I was a plot point for a American Dad episode, but I thought they just made that up for the cartoon. I didn't think that actually existed in real life until I saw the video, what a disturbing realization.
@@ailospjellok7475 Czech here, you can lookup "Utopenci" to see how they look like. Common recipe is sausages, onions, peppers, bay leaves, cloves, allspice, black pepper in vinegar solution. It needs to be kept in a fridge and can last for roughly 3 months.
I was expecting things like Kinder Eggs or something, what I got instead was trauma xD Though the cheese I knew about before as it was on Gordon Ramsey's Hells kitchen years ago and he tried it, so I wasn't too shocked seeing that here.
Wait is this what the crunchy chicks from fable are supposed to be? You can eat them to lose karma for a neutral or evil character. Ps you can eat celery for positive karma just in case.
I love wood and drinks of my county, and in Russia, while some drinks, wood and snacks could be questionable, I’m sure is know it’s not fucked up like that
Shark fin soup is actually really cruel though. Cause they put the shark back in the ocean, alive, after taking it's fins. So it can't swim. And thus cannot breathe. So they always drown. No idea why they don't at least keep the rest of the body. And its all done for something that tastes like nothing and has no nutritional value. And sharks are already suffering because of humans. Not to mention that they are very friendly creatures who are misunderstood and demonized by human culture. So yeah, definitely more screwed up than, say, birds nest soup.
I'm half Jamaican and aki is normally eaten as a breakfast item, I had it once in my life and never again, it looks like eggs and to me taste horrible 0/10 would not recommend 🙃
Shit on a Shingle can be made as the same gravy you put on Biscuit but on toast... HOWEVER it is actually made with creamed Chipped Beef on Toast... Honestly just make it with Gravy and skip the chipped beef ... it is very mid.
Some islands had animals develop dwarfism due to the lack of predators. Also, considering the French and their torture of ducks in order to eat their fatty liver (Foie gras), what they did to the Ortolan isn't that surprising.

So disgusting
It’s so sinful you eat it under a napkin to hide your sin from God. No your hiding your actions of killing a bird this way from God.
Wth
Most extreme example of the sin of gluttony
@@TheycallmeHatGuy nah, it's just hardcore
Thank god it's banned

This is the most horrifying way to describe eating something
It is at that point when one probably should question his own sanity.
Feels like some that wrote this would commit suicide...
Yeah, I think "shielding from God's eyes" is the right origin.

Honestly what the fuck. The Ortolan actually left me flabbergasted.
even worse that they sometimes pluck their eyes instead and pack them into a box full of other eyeless Ortolans

Blame it to the French, Jesus christ
Bro Im French and I never knew that until today 😭 I promise nobody eats it nowdays bro
It's disgusting
the disgust etched on Chad's face when Nikki was telling the pickled sausage story
And when Sam was explaining the maggot cheese.
the last one was actually in an episode of american dad. i thought it was just something twisted from mcfarlanes mind but apparently its real.
I heard the reason the bird is drowned in brandy is so the lungs fill with brandy and explode with flavor when you bite into them
What the fuck

Wtf? I've played that game multiple times and I never heard anything about that.
@@zombifiedpariah7392 it’s in the campaign mission ‘Liberation’ when the German officer is swinging the hot poker around
@@tfrowlett8752 The one where you infiltrate a Nazi embassy?
The purpose of drowinging the Ortolan in brandy is so when you bite into them, their lungs explode like gushers and release brandy
Awww, that cat coming to comfort yall during the shark fin soup part was adorable.

You can always count on the French to find the weirdest things to eat. Or in this case make a normal thing weird.
So if the bird shits in the brandy…do you restart or is that part of it
I'm actually pickling eggs right now
You know this video is messed up when they're both gaping for 34 seconds
there is another video i've seen explaining why american bread and mountain dew is banned in the uk and eu.
I heard of cazu martzu from a RUclips-channel, "Why Would You Eat That" and a Gordon Ramsey video.
I also heard about shark-fin soup from the tidbit that Steve Irwin protested against it, hardlined.
❤I loved the way Chad's face looked in the whole video, ❤I definitely won't be trying any of them lol ❤ xxx ❤
The FDA allows so many chemicals and u healthy ingredients that other countries don't.

My father loves pickled sausage and pickled fish, and will mercilessly mock anyone who does not
Pickled sausage or fish are very common in Europe. They go great with beer.
@@dwightk.schrute8696 i live in sweden and havent heard of pickled sausage to this day

Were you shocked by the bird facts?

Maggot cheese… 😃
🤔 Jesus, I don't have a problem killing and eating meat but I don't want to torture my food, even if it produces a better flavour.

Honestly, the only thing I would try is the cheese
Its got maggots in it man
💀💀💀
I didn't like the last one 😕

I rather eat maggot chees than American cheese
No you don’t

I didn't hate the french before watching this video.
I did. And this video didn’t help
Eatological.
