MODERATORS
I watched that Amazon Wheel of Time show when it first came out and one character is demonstrated to be a psychopath by having him eat an ortolan.
When I later found out that it's a French delicacy, that they're driving the bird extinct and that they hide under a napkin while doing it because it's so disgusting looking (the source I learned from colorfully called it "hiding their faces from God"), I was genuinely shocked. It became a fact that I've bothered all of my friends and family with, and many coworkers. Not one has reacted in a way other than disgust.
Indeed. Though IMO eating an Ortolan is still slightly less morally bankrupt that eating a steak - the former was caught in the wild, the latter is the product of systematic large-scale exploitation, torture and slaughter.
The main difference beyond that is the aesthetic and how normalized the latter is.
I'm conflicted here, the beef industry is horrific, but Ortolans are also tortured to death, even if they do live free before capture.
Yeah, it's probably stupid to try and rank suffering like that, my bad. Both are atrocious, let's leave it at that.
