They're in international waters, free from the constraints of the law. To celebrate, the passengers dined on ortolans (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=205341)

Mmmmm! Tasty, tasty ortolans!

Eating ortolans? That makes Gail a heartless criminal!

Right on! Think of the marketing potential for her comics now she's a mean, bird-scarfing international criminal... :eek:

No, you put the whole bird in your mouth tail first, with the head sticking out of your mouth. Then you bite off the head.

Start chewing. Spit out the bones.

Francois Mitterand's last meal. Tastylicious!

You would eat endangered species? You're as bad as Gail!

I cant imagine it's any worse than hunting down bigfoot.

That depends if you want bigfoot charbroiled or served in a nice clam sauce.

Oh I beg to differ. That's not the HIGH class way to consume an endangered species...atleast according to Gigi's aunt.
