For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets was the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and, some believe, to hide from God.

Where can I try Ortolan?

I'm happy to travel to France to do it, I'm just aware that they've decided to enforce an EU prohibition on the dish.
