Why was James wearing a head covering during eating scenes in Carnage a Trois?

Also, he probably wasn’t there. You’ll notice that Clarkson and Hammond do quite a bit without May being around.

I’ve said it before… I think May’s had enough and does the least he can get away with.

Idk. I wouldn’t expect someone who is just skating by to endure the self-induced punishment he took in “A massive hunt”. It would have been way too easy for them to pull something like they did with the Jags season 2. “Oh wow! My Morgan turned into a G wagon! How did that happen??”

Others have answered the question (ortolan).

That reminds me James and Jeremy are absolutely not shy trying all those overly local dishes (Vietneam Special comes to mind).

Or Seamen. I’m all for trying the local cuisine, but the boiled egg with the bird fetus in it was a bit much…

He was pretending to eat Ortolan Bunting. The hankerchief over ones head is traditional. It is said to concentrate the aroma and to hide the gruesome act from God. An Ortolan is a now endagered songbird the size of a mans thumb. It is blinded or kept in a dark cage to induce gorging, drowned in brandy, plucked of its feathers, roasted along with aromatics, and eaten whole, feet first, bones and all, leaving only the beak.

EDIT: Can't spell for shit.
