Yep, I'm on Paul's side here, too.

I was so excited until I saw there were words AFTER "ban the French"......
Pate is overpriced liver paste anyway (although I'm happy to buy any good pate that's made in America - which I believe Marcel & Henri is - and I assume the mighty fact checkers of the blogs will give me the skinny if I'm wrong, bless them - have kept me from looking foolish more than I can say, and I'm grateful).

Same kind that produce those tender veal cutlets.

I once had foie gras, or should I say it once had me.

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I want to take it away from everyone else.
What a maroon!

Who are the people who actually physically do this to the bird? I don't know but they must have stomach's of steel to watch it. That and they have to be a bit twisted.

McCartney seems to have too much time on his hands.

and making it consume such an abnormal quantity of food that its liver expands many times its normal size." Makes you wonder how large Lumpy Riefenstahl's liver must be by now.

I love foie gras and will eat it anytime I can get it. If it's not French, all the better.
There is a place in NYC, run by chef Daniel Boulud called db bistro moderne, which serves a $34 hamburger. It is "...a juicy conglomeration ground beef, foie gras and braised short ribs," and has been described as "outrageous".
I've been meaning to try it, and I think in honor of Paul McCartney I will do so next week.

I'm with you....
One thing to let an animal live a decent life before you kill it and eat it...
Another to torture it daily so it gets an extra fatty liver.
Goes on my "Folks whose heads I'd like to pinch off" list.

It's delicious, but it can just as easily be made from regular goose livers. There is no need to treat the animal this way, except to yield a larger liver (more money).

I'm not talking about going to extremes (I enjoy my hamburgers, thank you!), but I'm also pretty much against the idea of veal because I think it's cruel. Perspective in all things.I see, YOU want to set the rules. Do you think horses like being saddled up? Do you think those cows that make your burgers would rather you ate chicken. This is ridiculous.
There is a(one) successful employer(jobs) who will either be wiped out by this law, or he will move his business to another state like many other businesses have fled CA.
This is PETA horsesh*t period, if you examine the process of creating your burger why doesn't that bother you?
