Tax them?
No no no no no.
We're eating them.
It's sorta like the opposite of veal:
The more financially bloated, gorged and aged the landlord is... the more succulent the screams.
... I mean flesh.
Anyway, I can't help it that the traditional method of preparing the dish is a guillotine... its just a traditional thing, very classy imo.
Personally, I like to pair the feast with a gunpowder shot... just an explosive combination of flavors, if you ask me.
