zen… ZEN! Wtf are you trying to do to me? or maybe i should be cursing oliver? this is the type of post that makes me feel like rachel ray… all lame and loser like and EVOO-ing. this is truly and amazing post… maybe one of my favorites. gorgeous pictures and i can only imagine the flavor. the fact that every bit of the bird was used is fascinating. you are a genius!!

that woodcock is unbelievably tiny. did you have to go out for a burger afterwards? kidding…

ok, i will admit that it looks absolutely amazing. Having said that, i think i may have passed out for a few seconds after I saw the bird being de-feathered…stripped of all its glory, cut up and…*THUNK*..

What a wonderful post! I had woodcock once in my life and it was quite memorable. I can tell from looking at those pictures that Chef Olivier is a real expert. I would be willing to pay a lot of money to enjoy such a meal.

Will we see Ortolan on your blog someday, Mr Zen?
