Summary: Great book about an excellent ingredient!
Comment: Foie Gras is a scapegoat for animal welfare types, and they're welcome to their say. Yes, foie gras is hepatic lipidosis... But that's what makes it so good! It's like well-marbled beef.. the extra fat in the liver makes the flavor exquisite. I've even had the opportunity to serve it to one of my animal welfare friends without their knowledge (yes, a bit on the dark side, I know), and they were absolutely thrilled with the taste.
The top restaurants in the world will have foie gras as part of their menu. Perhaps some day biotechnologists will be able to grow it from liver cells so the animal welfare folks can move on to another cause... but for now, if you don't mind the controversy, get this book, learn all about Foie Gras as a gourmet ingredient, and boost your cooking expertise!
Look, if the Iron Chefs use it, it's got to be good stuff! Remember, life is too short to eat low-quality food, and taste is everything!

Summary: Foie Gras: A shameful practice
Comment: I can't believe that Foie Gras is still legal here! Anyone who eats it should be ashamed of themselves. It is pure callous gluttony when someone can eat a food that was obtained by literally torturing an animal. What do people think, that the duck's liver magically enlarges on it's own? If so, they would be drastically wrong. Those poor ducks are force fed through a pipe that is shoved down their throats! The workers who 'feed' the ducks get a bonus if they manage to not explode a certain number of duck's stomachs every month. I saw a video on this, and also saw a foie gras farm, which are not many because this cruel 'delicacy' is outlawed in so many places, but one farm is near where I live. It was worse than I imagine hell being. To all who eat this horror of a food: Find a tiny bit of compassion inside yourself. How would you like this to happen to your dog or cat?

Summary: Foie Gras: A Tragedy
Comment: The poor ducks and geese which this "wonderful delicacy" comes from are force-fed to grow an abnormally and painfully large liver. This is absolute cruelty. You may think, hey, they're just animals, but you know what? So are we! How would you feel if someone decided hmm, I want to try some englarged human-liver, and picked YOU as the victim. You'd be stuck in a small cage, forcefed antibiotics to keep you barely alive while you were also forcefed other things to enlarge your liver, also known as giving you a disease. You would be suffering because of intense pain without pain relievers. You'd be miserable and would probably go crazy because of confinement. Then, of course, you would be painfully and inhumanely slaughtered.
"I can almost taste a slice of heaven." Wow, if heaven is diseased liver, remind me to go to Hell.
Ask any doctor. This enlarged liver is a disease. There are so many other options to choose. Please do not choose cruelty!
