Audubon claimed that Woodcocks were considered such fine dishes that some who he called epicures ate these birds “with all their viscera, worms and insects to boot, the intestines in fact being considered the most savoury parts.” Audubon, for his part, never joined in this practice.
Blech.
Yeah, that is kind of disturbing. Sounds like "bug people" food.
It sounds like those “epicures” had their behaviour altered from being infested with parasites.
