Looks like they might be eating ortolan, but I’d be surprised if that was recorded like this. Maybe a nod to the ortolan but made more ethically?

They are eating some birds that were force fed grains to become super fat and then drowned in some liquor. I can’t really remember and to lazy to google lol. Basically you’re supposed to hide your face from shame of god when eating this succulent bad boy

I think I know what this is. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to know.
Ortolan bunting maybe, birds force fed and drowned in Armagnac, the diners hide under a cloth so God can’t see them eat or something

Don’t quote me on this, But it’s very similar to Ortolan.
I don’t think that’s it, because you can still see their faces… but I can’t think of any other thing where the heads are covered.
Researchers beware.

I’m guessing they’re about to eat ortolan. By tradition, you cover your head while eating to hide your shame from God. I’ve also heard that the covering helps trap the aroma which adds to the experience.
Edit: autocorrect strikes again

its a dish where you abuse the bird in preparation. you hide under the sheet to hide from god while you eat it.

finger sniffing?

So, I get the cloth to trap in the scent so you can better take in the full experience… but does each person really need a helper to hold their blanket?
Im sure the dish was expensive and the cost covers the labor, no doubt. I just think I’d personally feel pretty stupid to require someone help me handle my linens.

I think this might be the origin of stupid foods.

There is a scene in Succession about this.

They are eating Ortolan. It’s a small songbird that’s been fattened up, then drowned in cognac. It’s an illegal French delicacy. It’s also so decadent that it’s tradition to cover yourself to hide yourself from God.

They’re eating Ortolon. It was depicted in Billions and Succession.
They’re recreating the scene from Crocodile Dundee where Mick dumps the guys coke into a bowl of hot water and then puts a towel over his head because he doesn’t know how it works

ortolan. a french dish consisting of a tiny songbird that is prepared by drowning it in liquor and roasting it. it is eaten whole and with a napkin over your head to shield the sin of partaking in this food from god.
so they’re pretentious and assholes.

***Anthony Bourdain’s*** ***Report:*** “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.”

They’ve all got sinus issues so they put their cocaine in a bowl of hot water to get better.

Foolish people being separated from their money.
