Off the menu! New York City is set to ban foie gras with any restaurateur or grocery store owner..

The sale of foie gras looks set to become illegal in New York City with city council members expected to pass a bill on Wednesday that bans the sale of the fattened liver of a duck or goose at restaurants and grocery stores.

Under the bill, vendors and restaurateurs caught selling the French delicacy could be slapped with a $1000 fine and a year behind bars.

Animal welfare advocates have long supported banning the sale of foie gras, claiming the practice of force-feeding a bird by sticking a tube down its throat is inhumane.

However, farmers who produce the specialty food product say that the ducks and geese do not suffer during the fattening process.

Vendors and producers also say the bill could cause trouble for New York state, which is home to many farms that produce foie gras for the US market.

Critics claim up to 400 jobs could be destroyed and that $150 million could be lost annually.

I too make a “fois gras” out of chicken livers too. I use Kirsch (cherry brandy liqueur) in my recipe. To be honest I don’t like the idea at all of stuffing food down the throats of those birds, enough so that I do not enjoy fois gras at all.

I pretty much stick to grass-fed meats, I don’t eat corn, and I don’t want to eat animals that eat corn.

Here’s a video of foie gras production. Watch the whole thing, then decide if foie gras is worth it.

Be an informed consumer, watch the video, then comment.

Are you also an advocate for Jewish people to no longer eat Kosher meat?

Sure glad I live in a free country that has no problems more important than gourmet food. Would hate to have to live in a communist country where some self important dimwit thought was the Governments job to decide what I eat.

I mix it with liverwurst, worcestershire sauce and a little milk. Make it into a roll and top it with real thin sliced onions.

You forgot to include a link to a video of beef being slaughtered, coupled with a question about whether or not you really like hamburger.

I live in Spain and foie grass is sold in all of the supermarkets. If someone came in and tried to ban it they would probably end up with a tube stuck down their throat and another stuck up a different hole.
