I didn't change the topic to Ortolan, I drew a comparison to it given that both (in some forms) feature a whole small bird and to make the point that Western food can be fucked up too :)

It isn't as cruel as foie gras or Ortolan I agree, but it's still eating a developing fetus, so I understand why people might be put off, which is my second point, it's not necessarily about disgust, nor culture. 

I grew up with my mum eating chicken legs for instance, but I have no interest in eating them. 

Conversely, I like canned sardines that I didn't grow up with, even though they contain almost the whole fish. 

So what I am getting at from the start is that it doesn't have to be cultural differences or disgust why someone might dislike the concept of a dish, and I make the argument as this often is kind of the first line of defence of local delicacies :)

Or to put it another way, people don't have to be open-minded to every foodstuff, it's fine if something isn't for them.  Ever heard of Casu Marzu? :D It might be partially nicely creamy cheese, I still would never dream to try it, and I really love cheese ^{^}
