This made me think of that scene from "Police Academy" when The guy who makes all the sounds is kung-fuing the thief who was beating up the Asian food grocer...

"Ahhh, not on bwocolli"

"Ahh, not on colifwower"

If you could hear me, you'd discover I'm laughing maniacally. Even snorting once or twice. That was hilarious.

Your a big New Yorker Joe, you must have had some decent foie before?

Well I guess its better than that raw hamburger-in-a-bowl some of the steakhouses serve.

LOL that is great! with a little raw quail egg on top. YUMMMMMMMYY Actually one of my favorite restaurants near where I live, Press, has the BEST Tartare ever, with quail egg! I am heading there in a few hours and Yes, I think I will have to have the Tartare, a nice hunk of meat, probablyt he New York Strip, and have them top it with a nice hunk of Foie Gras, and Truffle butter!

Now that is life


















then I will have a mild heart attack . . .

What's not to like [about Red Dawn]?

Guns, mountain living (with women, plural), and large American made trucks?

Was it just me or was anyone else hoping that Jennifer Grey and lea Thompson were gonna dike it out in the desert and then C. Thomas Howell was gonna hop on.

There's my answer. [Jokingly] And here I was talking about an action movie with a little gender equality.

Why are we comparing eating soemthing that is not on the endangered list to things that are? I mean Canada still has baby seal clubbing parties . . .I woudl love to see that stopped before the end to foie gras!

I like foie gras a lot. I actually bought one last weekend when I was in the south of France. I've seen the process of force feeding several times, it's a really special technique and it really doesn't look like the animals suffer. But in the end foie gras is indeed a sick liver.

Foie gras is absolutly wonderful with a golden wine like Sauternes (my personal all time favorite), Montbasillac or Jurançon. It's also great with a touch of raspberry or apercot, it really lifts up the flavors.

the best foie gras is geese, but it's harder to make so it's much more expensive (45$ for 200g), duck is still really good and much more affordable (20$ for 200g).

I would probably have a cat. Cats are amazing.
A friend did the Peace Corps in Africa and found it to be greasy and gamy, like dog. He ate just about everything, and now it's endangered. There's not much point in preparing an omnivorous, skinny animal... sort of like shelling crawdads when you can have lobster.

I'm reminded of a swollen, yellow, hardened human cirrhotic liver I encountered in the lab. Late one night. I know this is not the same as a migratory bird liver, which expands naturally to store fat. Though it did smell like COGNAC! :eek:

FOIE-GRAS with out the fowl, say it ain't so!

That's like vodka without alcohol, beer without hops, drinks without roofies, and Indiana Jones movies without a plot. It just shouldn't be.

It may be cruel, but has anyone here been near an actual goose before? They're mean ass bastards. If they could, geese would kill you and everyone you've ever loved.

The Presidio of San Francisco, a national park and home of ILM and Lucasarts, was declared a foie gras safe zone, defying the ban which started this month. Hopefully a California wine boycott in France can be averted through continued disobedience...
