I don’t give AF about geese/birbs and seeing them stuffed with bread makes me laugh with joy! Besides watching birds force-fed, what taste do we get and/or why are colourds good slaves?!
 
Sounds like you have a feeding fetish. I know of a certain other Floridian lurking this site who shares your interest.
 
Well, it should be noted that there is more ethical fois gras. https://youtube.com/watch?v=x5c4TXfDHZYAlso, the Chinese force feed ducks for peking duck. I'm not entirely sure about the taste other than being fattier. Supposedly you can cook fois gras without any sort of oil, butter, or fat like bacon. Other than that, I don't really know.

it shares the same luxury as most lard heavy proteins like Bacon, Caviar and roe. It's a way for you spread something on a grain dish without losing out of the taste of choking on it because it's so fatty
 
Foie gras is delicious, especially when made properly. Something about the barbarity of its preparation must really positively impact the flavor, so it's entirely unsurprising that the French, as a culture that revels in hedonistic sadomasochism, would know how to prepare delicious cuisine.

I don't know if it's still legal, but I'd definitely love to try traditionally prepared ortolan. Am I a bad person for wanting to eat fattened songbirds that were drowned in Armagnac? Probably, but I'm already on this site, so how much worse of a person could I possibly become?
 
Who else but the French would torture something by force-feeding it for the hell of it only to discover the liver tasted so good? Well...maybe the Chinese because they have no empathy for anything.
 
Última edición:
had something that was called foi gras when i was a temp worker at an ikea (small one but still had a secytion of food like crisp bread and spreads) It was pretty good on some crisp bread but because it was swiss i think it was made with a grown duck that wasn't tortured to make it.
 
Have never really tried foie gras, but how different is it from Vietnamese liver pâté (made from Chicken and heavenly in a bahn mi)?
Properly made foie gras is the perfect blind of creaminess with a strong savory quality and an appropriate dash of cognac for that extra flavor. Chicken livers really don't have the same fatty quality as goose liver does, so it's inherently inferior. having not tried "vietnamese" pate (which given Vietnams colonial history is clearly French in origin), I can imagine it being somewhat similar.
 
I've had a couple of times (not out of choice). It's like a very smooth meat butter. Really disgusting. Just the memory is making my stomach turn.

Ethical force feeding is an oxymoron.
 
Dangit people.
Just put some braunschweiger on a rye crisp. Maybe add some raw onion.
There will be no need for goose innards.
