Foie gras is one of the most popular delicacies in French cuisine and its flavour is described as rich, buttery, and delicate, unlike that of a regular duck or goose liver. Foie gras can be sold whole, or prepared into mousse, parfait, or pâté (the lowest quality), and is typically served as an accompaniment to another comestible (food item), such as toast or steak.
I did, but I didn't eat the bun. Shut. Up.

I don't eat foie gras anymore because of the cruel methods used to make it. It's not banned in New York, although some animal rights activists are trying to get if banned.
And Chico, remember, I'm married to a doctor. I'm willing to drop $7 on a burger. Although it would still be fun to hang out.

Posted: 8/27/07 at 2:49pmIn modern foie gras production, force feeding takes place 12−18 days before slaughter. The duck or goose is typically fed a controlled amount of corn mash through a tube placed in the animal's esophagus. Due to this force feeding procedure, and the possible health consequences of an enlarged liver, animal rights and welfare organizations and activists regard foie gras production methods as cruel to animals. Foie gras producers maintain that force feeding ducks and geese is not uncomfortable for the animals nor is it hazardous to their health. Scientific evidence regarding the animal welfare aspects of foie gras production is limited and inconclusive. A number of countries and other jurisdictions have laws against force feeding or the sale of foie gras due to how it is produced.

Sorry for the delay.
Taz, I'd be freaked out if I heard Granny Linnie saying that. Not just because that statement in itse;f is horrible, but because Granny Linnie has been dead ten years, and it'd freak me out if I heard her saying anything, frankly.
The granny I was referring to is on my maternal side.

Ah, but you see, we've made our peace.
Anyone else checked their emails recently? Might be worth a look.

I have 'ThreadKiller' (to the tune of 'Thriller') running through my head now after my display.
So, seen as though we've already discussed the weather, how's your health?
