Upon reading this I couldn't help but reflect upon years ago when California wines took many awards in competition in France and the Hissy Fit the French through at that.
There is no such thing. Liver taste like ...uh, liver.
What, no comments from the PETA peanut gallery?
This is all about the growing EU codification and domination of Agriculture and food products. As the EU Nanny State grows in power, it seeks to conform industries like food and cosmetics to its "humanist" standard. By banning artificial additives to cosmetics imported into the EU, the greatest producer being the US, they have crippled that American industry.By seeking to ban the traditional methods of producing Foie Gras, the gavage, or force feeding of geese, the EU is trying to destroy the individual artisanal agricultural producers in France.
Foie Gras is a delicious invention of the French, and they have always produced the highest quality. Now there is excellent Foie Gras being produced in the Hudson Valley of NY and in California.
Free people should be allowed to eat whatever they choose. The government has no place in those choices. This skirmish is a small battle in the war on individual rights, and on American industry being waged by the EU.
Oh please, i'm supposed to listen to him/her/it as an expert on fooey grass?
That is rather pitiful, haven't they ever heard of medium-rare porterhouse steaks?
