The wealthy people in the Roman Empire ate Hummingbird tongues-and in Medieval Europe the nobility served roasted peacocks and other birds with all their feathers stuck back on, as well as fois gras...
But I agree with you-with all the ingenuity in the food industry, I would think there would be a cruelty-free way to produce pate fois gras, since there is a market for it-and veal-that is cruelty-free-I don’t eat either veal or fois gras-they are too expensive for my budget anyway-I do like the bargain faux substitute for fois gras made with chicken livers.
I only eat eggs and meat from free-range chickens and beef from grass fed non-feedlot cattle-but that is just my personal preference-and I live where natural organic food is readily available at the local market-meat from caged/penned animals just doesn’t have as much good, natural flavor as free-ranged/grass fed-and I don’t want to eat the residual hormones and antibiotics in the meat from caged/penned animals, either-are the geese that are fed out for fois gras given hormones and antibiotics?...
That sounds great and I have some chicken livers I got from my neighbor in the freezer-do you have a specific recipe?
Naw....just add worcestershire sauce a little at a time.
I don’t care what you eat, go to China and eat cats for all I care.
Not really a response. If you are going to be outraged at Foie gras..don’t you have the same outrage over the slaughter of Kosher and Halal meat?
So true. I also only eat pastured eggs and grass fed beef etc. this food becomes us. It should be from the healthiest animals.
I will look for a recipe to do a fake fois gras with chicken livers. I hate liver but I do love fois gras the Japanese way.
What’s not illegal in New York City?
How about a mayor having police drive his kids to Yale? Is that illegal?
Grass-finished beef has much more healthy Omega-3s than Feed fed beef, which is much higher in Omega-6s, which are inflammatory.
Yes, what you said.
Saying “being an informed consumer” is “outrage”?
Thanks!
Thanks-I’m going to try that...
That is something too many people don’t even think about-what has the cow your steak came from been eating-if it was a feedlot cow being fed mostly GMO-filled corn and grain grown for that purpose, the steak should have a Monsanto label on it...
You clearly have a problem with the practice but you still aren’t answering the question. do you have a problem with butchering of Kosher meat?
Not completely banned, it can only be served in Lunchroom at Planned Parenthood.
You clearly are looking for an argument. The topic was foie gras, not kosher slaughter. Start a kosher slaughter thread and I’ll comment. As I said, you can eat cats for all I care, it’s just that a lot of people don’t understand the production process of foie gras and I was simply stating, be an informed consumer.
BTTT
I am not looking for an argument. I want to know why Foie gras is a problem for you if Kosher slaughter for Jewish people is not a problem for you. why is one worse than the other?
Where did I say one was worse than the other?
Look, I’m not going to argue with you. I’ll give you the last word since I know if you don’t get it, you’ll be constipated for a week.
