That sounds very much like a now-illegal French dish involving a small, live bird which is forced to drink something alcoholic, brandy I believe. Not something that I’d want to order at a restaurant anyhow.
which french dish is that?
“a small live bird”
IIRC, that French delicacy is an “ortolan”, smaller than a sparrow, and eaten whole while one wears a napkin over one’s head. Not for this Yank, thanks.
Anyway, this thread kind of trumps all those jokes about rare steak (”cook just enough to get rid of the moo, then have to kind of chase it off the plate”). All kinds of raw moving food.
BTW, squeezing lemon juice over a shucked clam and seeing it move merely guarantees freshness. Not the same as those yukky Asian dancing whatevers.
