About this artwork
Ortolans are a dish made from the ortolan bird, consumed as a ritualized meal in western France. The bird is first captured and confined in a dark cage to force it to overeat. It is then drowned in Armagnac, roasted, and served. Guests place a napkin over their heads and eat the whole bird, bones included, in a single bite, except for the beak.
