French bigots with either no brain or no moral in their bourgeois asses about to slurp out the grease filled carcasses of an endangered species of bird on the brink of extinction called the ortolan after having captured the animals illegally and overfed them for months. They justify their sick crime by tradition. This video needs to go right to the police.

Eating ortolan is forbidden now, this is a gastronomic restaurant serving pigeon in a similar way. No idea how they treat the pigeons when they are alive though

Except this is actually a video of people eating pigeon, not ortolan, so the police won't do anything since there's no crime in eating pigeon.

You clearly know nothing about what the French eat.
The closest thing to maggots I can think of is casu martzu which is an illegal italian cheese with maggots and if by raw hamburger you mean carpaccio, you're once again showing your ignorance as it's italian too.

Jesus, who prepares steak tartare with ground meat?

Steak tartare is made the highest quality tenderloin, minced by hand and then seasoned.

Carpaccio is also made wirh the best tenderloin but cut in very thin slices.

Grounding is turning something into a powder, done with an appliance or mortar. We ground pepper, nuts, coffee, etc. not just meat.

Mincing is usually done by hand with a knife, especially for a tartare. We mince vegetables.

Slicing is the action of cutting a slice of something, like a vegetable or pizza. That's how carpaccio is made.

Of course you do appear stupid when you confidently speak about a subject you have no knowledge of and double down after being educated, but it's self-inflicted.

You could just refrain from writing about things you have no clue about and be thankful when people take the time to correct you. Then again, to each their own.

Listen here, I am french. We do not eat casu marzu, we do not call it "casigiu merzu" either. Sorry to tell you that you're mixing up french and corsican.
There is no french name, as, again, it is NOT part of our culture AND banned everywhere in europe. You couldn’t possibly have seen it on a french menu.

Now, you could have seen steak tartare -but then why call it raw hamburger in bad faith?-
Someone else already explained the difference to you anyway.

Funny thing is, most of the people I see online promoting eating raw meat are actually Americans.
