Two Michelin stars,18 GaultMillau points,menus costing over 300 Swiss francs.And what ends up on the plate? Endangered wild #birds.
#Woodcock. #Rockptarmigan. Animals on the #RedList.Welcome to the world of "haute cuisine,":artfully arranged animal carcasses,garnished with ignorance.
While species are disappearing,endangered birds are being roasted in expensive sauce.While scientists fight for #biodiversity, luxury restaurants continue to play God over life and death

Next: Canada’s most recent territory: Nunavut 🇨🇦 The territorial symbols the rock ptarmigan and purple saxifrage flowers cover the hand-carved map of #Nunavut in my #linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, lavendar, beige, black and red, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

This is the first #ptarmigan I've ever seen in the wild. I saw it in Iceland almost ten years ago. It was May and I think it's the time of year #ptarmigans are transitioning their plumage from the white, winter one to the darker, summer plumage. This ptarmigan is a male as indicated by the red eyebrow. Apparently ptarmigan is the traditional Christmas dinner in #Iceland.
