New model for the month of April (lore: soul stuck in puppet until Elden Ring is beaten) Enjoy the puppet everyone! Thanks for watching also!

To answer the question of why the birds are drowned in brandy: that's just the easiest way to stuff their lungs full of brandy without it leaking out

[@pawsvtuber]

I have a hard time believing marinating the thing after would be any different, but I'm not a gourmet eater that can answer that. It's insane what people do and the way they eat it too 😭

[@MegaMrMinecraft1]

@@pawsvtuber From what I am to understand, it is because the brandy explodes into the consumers mouth when they bite into the lungs. Still does not justify the horrible practice though.

And they probably overeat for the same reason captive baby monkeys do. Because they're depressed out of their minds and fills that black hole in their soul with food. Don't do these things to animals.

in the savoyard mountains they used to put vipers in alcohol to consume later but got outlawed in the end of 70s. They didnt eat the snake it was just seasoning basically

[@WoobertAIO]

Also, since the bird is drowned in a highly alcoholic liquid, it becomes safer to eat it whole since, you know, eating it whole involves the large intestines and its... contents.

[@zecharl-1348]

I live in Florida and my neighbor has a giant Ackee tree, as long as you let them ripen, and they tend to fall out the tree when ripe anyways, they are quite nice. Also they may be in Florida due to our high Jamaican population and climate. And yes cooked canned ackee can be found on the shelf at the local grocery store lol.

PAWS if you are interested in the shark fin story, Gordon Ramsay himself went and investigated some of the trade and what he found is just awful, think it is where that image of all the fins came from

Ooh! Another food weirdness: alligator counts as fish in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Long story short: during Lent (basically, leadup to Easter) Catholics are supposed to abstain from eating meat to one degree or another. However, back on the day the very, _very_ Catholic Spain was a global superpower and also a major consumer/producer of fish, so throttling the entire country of a major source of nutrients and money wasn’t ideal (though there were other reasons more grounded in the faith). Many years later, a priest in America was asked if alligator (which was a not-uncommon food in Louisiana and Florida) counted as meat for the purposes of Lent...and he wanted to be sure, so he passed it up the chain. Then, after a prolonged game of multilingual telephone spanning continents and oceans that presumably left an Italian omega-bishop very confused, it was officially decided that the weird scaly American waterbeasts sounded closer to fish than stuff you found on a farm.

[@endernightblade1958]

capybaras apparently also count as fish, i assume the reason is similar. also “Italian Omega-Bishop” is a very fun phrase.

[@darkkira1332]

About the shark fin soup, while its true that only the fins are used for the soup, the shark carcass is also used on other type of dishes. At least its a better alternative than people used to do with sharks, back then, they just remove "back fin" and release the shark cause "its much more humane" but they later learned that the missing fin will cause the shark to become disoriented and dies in a slow death. So yeah, better eat the whole thing or not at all.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Important caveat: this is only true for legal shark finning, and even then, that only applies to some countries. Finning and throwing back the rest of the still-alive shark is still VERY much a common practice, considering how storing/transporting the rest of the shark intensely limits potential profit (not that im defending it. Its just that greed is a thing.)

[@GregAtlas]

The shark fin thing is real and if i remember right they just toss the finless body back in the ocean. It's quite sad. I think the reason it's popular is because people think it's an aphrodisiac.

[@endernightblade1958]

(just going off channel region) boy am i glad there aren’t any weird foods in romania :) i actually knew about casu mardzu beforehand, i read about it and i’ve kinda been curious ever since. also this model is very nice.

[@XperimentorEES]

Sharkfin soup is a big reason the shark population is dropping fast, why couldn't they do it with dolphins or orca instead? But yeah banned foods is up there with strange sounding phobias, sounds like a good idea to research until your innocence is lost.

[@MysteriumArcanum]

I can attest to aki being grown in Florida, a person who lives down the street from me has an aki tree. I don't think they're taking advantage of their crops though because I'm always finding rotting aki pulp on that particular stretch of sidewalk.

[@kaikai200]

The shark fins were eaten by rich people in my country , because rumor says it good for your health(which is false and acutally is harmful), fortunately people stop eating that couple of decades ago , we just eat their meat . (Taste good BTW)

[@riccardocastiglioni1611]

Italian here: never tried Casu Marzu myself, but according to some friends of mine who tried it, it's quite good! Also there are at least 7 other variants of this cheese in different parts of Italy (Not just in the islands) so there must be something to it I guess... On a different note, another food that is "banned" here is the 'Nduja: a mixture of pork and hot peppers mashed together, mostly eaten on bread slices like butter. Now you will find 'Nduja everywhere in the south, but they won't sell you the stuff made with the original recipe: people would try that and being rushed to the hospital right away, it was that spicy.

Chewing the ortolan's bones also cuts your gums, so you end up tasting your own blood as well.

The technicality is you cant import the ackee fruit itself but you can grow and export your own probably due to some pests from africa

[@BusinessWolf1]

He's exaggerating when he says they cook the ortholan. Sometimes they don't.

[@derpionderpson1424]

I’m honestly surprised he didn’t touch on the Inuit traditional food Kiviak which is a bunch of birds (same species just a lot of them) stuffed into a sack feathers and all, that is then pressed to get as much air out as possible before it is sealed and left to ferment for several months under a pile of rocks… No shade to the Inuits for inventing a way to make tasty foods with almost nothing on hand, but just like the maggot cheese, it’s pretty grim by todays standards.

[@BusinessWolf1]

I'm watching this after having accidentally bitten into raw chicken

[@ailospjellok7475]

and yes they do just cut the fins off then toss the sharks back in, thats why its so horrible, its purely animal cruelty for no other reason than because they can, it wouldnt even be such an issue if the rest of the shark was also consumed in some form, but its not but also, did she just say "why does everyone say florida is like an alien planet, i mean i have seen people wrestle with alligators and go out with machetes" as if that in and of itself doesnt explain exactly why, florida is florida, and no other place is like florida

That bird one was horrible... Though, it's not as bad as what happens to dogs in china... and no, you don't want to look it up.

[@ShinigamiSamaH]

Still think the shark is worse. They first got their fins sawed off while still conscious, then tossed back into the water to slowly bleed out and drowning (since some shark species can only filter oxygen by actively swimming to push water through it gills). Some oxygen would still go through, so it would be gasping while potentially having other ocean creatures nibbling it body and eating it alive.
