Of course it's delicious.
The flames in the cocottes burn down, and the Ortolans are distributed, one to each guest. Everyone at this table knows what to do and how to do it. We wait for the sizzling flesh and fat before us to quiet down a bit. We exchange glances and grins and then, simultaneously, we place our napkins over our heads, hiding our faces from God, and with burning fingertips lift our birds gingerly by their hot skulls, placing them feet-first into our mouths – only their heads and beaks protruding.
In the darkness under my shroud, I realize that in my eagerness to fully enjoy the experience, I’ve closed my eyes. First comes the skin and the fat. It’s hot. So hot that I’m drawing short, panicky, circular breaths in and out – like a high-speed trumpet player, breathing around the ortolan, shifting it gingerly around my mouth with my tongue so I don’t burn myself. I listen for the sounds of jaws against bone around me but hear only others breathing, the muffled hiss od rapidly moving air through teeth under a dozen linen napkins. There’s a vestigal flavor of Armagnac, low-hanging fumes of airborne fat particles, an intoxicating dekicious miasma. Time goes by. Seconds? Moments? I don’t know. I hear the first snap of tiny bones from somewhere near and decide to brave it. 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 wonderous 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.

The O'Donovan's are a great example of people we can all be proud to call our own. That other prick is an embarrassment.
Never said people should be proud to call him one of us etc, you shouldn't be hoping he gets smashed imo.
He acts the prick plenty but people just want to see that and presume he's a useless cocky cunt. He's actually one of the greatest athletes Ireland has ever produced and one of the greatest self promoters and fighters the world has seen. Facts. People really need to teach themselves how boxing, MMA and the ppv model work.
Hoping he gets smashed is the same as when yous all hoped the current heel of the time would get smashed when you played with wrestling toys and caught the replays of WWF on the weekends. As oblivious now as yous were back then to what's really going on
Yeah, I went from thinking he was awesome to thinking he's a fucking eejit.
I think the doing coke off young wans tits while he had a new baby was what swinged it. That was before he ran into some pub and knocked the bollix out of someone.
I assumed all the prick behaviour on camera was for the $$, and I admired him for it. I'll always admire someone who's willing to sacrifice what people think of them in pursuit of something worthwhile. Turned out though that he's just a prick.
Pity really.
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
MANIAC tells the stories of Annie Landsberg (Emma Stone) and Owen Milgrim (Jonah Hill), two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical...
Opr
Saw first episode just there. Very weird characters, unusual - may be a bit too out there for my liking.
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Back your shit up.
Show me how this potentially great man let you down.
Fencing is such a ponsy thing to do! give me a real sword any day lol.
As for the mobile thing for schools, it may be some sort of EU rollout coming as I was at a meeting on Wednesday there as the schools are back this Wednesday coming (woop fucking woop finally) and we have a similar system coming in and they spoke about all the EU education changes taking place.
It will be good to have full visibility of our kid's progression for sure.

I guess a lot of the opposition to McGregor is that he is a vision of what Ireland would be like if the North Inner City was to run the country. Whiskey and fighting and bitch-talking and snorting coke of hookers breasts. Wait ... what was the problem again?
He's from the south inner city I thought? Crumlin.
Funny to see how invested CHD is in him.

This is astonishing, Cruz may as well have a white hood on...
I really don't understand what cruz point is here?
Is this the middle of tweet thread or something?
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Not good hilarious.
More screaming hilarity

Tiger gonna get over the line? Much and all as I'm a fan boy I have to say Rory at 7/2 looks good.
TIGER putting incredible Rorys putting average
TIGER can only lose it off the tee.box. looks like Rose will bag the 10 million either way. . Hes been very impressive , I've warmed to him big time. Hope he wins it. Have Rory backed at 9s.though. might stick something on Rose.
There's some nasty shit going around in the form of chest/sinus infections. Managed to tough it out Mon-Thurs but utterly floored last two days.
Lack of wifely sympathy was harsh: "you're just getting old and maybe you shouldn't be going out drinking on Tuesdays". Uncalled for imo.
Yeah, I'm really sick at the moment - very run down, couldn't sleep last night, sore throat, fuzzy head, the works. Probably shouldn't have done a Parkrun yesterday morning then stand outside at the Connacht game in the late afternoon, but I so rarely get sick that I thought the minor cold-like symptoms I had since last Thursday would just go away, not get worse and worse over the past 24 hours.
If you're a border farmer, you might be screwed. If you're in a US MNC, you probably won't notice a thing.
Also, the real backstop is the EU. They can't let us get fucked over completely. Solidarity and all that - cheap at the price.
It’s not about not letting us get fucked over it’s about making sure the optics are uk leave Europe and economy goes into the toilet and everyone else is uneffected.
If there is one thing about irish politics and farmers we can all be sure that every incredibly inefficient and laughable economies of scale farmer will be taken care of.
My mother gave me an artefact of my late fathers this evening (he died 16 years ago but w/e) - Alex Higgins and Ian Botham's signatures on the same piece of paper.
The mind does wonder wtf the event was.

A shot in the dark but perhaps something Benson & Hedges related, they sponsored some cricket in the late 70s as well as the Irish Masters so perhaps some crossover. I only knew that because my mother worked for B&H for years, I have a few pics as a child with some of the snooker players.

I think at an underworld fight between Roy Shaw and Lenny McLean sounds better.

...On April 1st 1987, Alex Higgins joined Ian borham on the first stage of his charity walk...They signed alot of autographs together that day (at least my search suggests so), so I'd say it's this...Sorry if it is a boring even 😂😂😂...

Willie just say how wrong you got it. You still know your golf and can pick a winner but an irrational underestimate of the goat took a hold of you.
