Furthermore I have been to places like France and have been to tours of the foi gras farms. They are treated much better than you think and better than US chickens and turkeys. I had a personal tour and the ducks are dumb they eat what they want until the last month where they do feed by tube but I witnessed it in person and the ducks are not unhappy at all. They are like goldfish in that they love to eat and yes their liver is expanded but they are not treated badly. At least the farms I have seen in France. I commented to him that he could sell more as he had room but he replied," I am happy with my fixed amount I do every year and when they sell out they gone". Maybe US duck farms with our capitalistic tendencies over cram the ducks per square feet and that should be changed, but to outlaw them is NOT right!<BR/><BR/>Foi gras should be available to anyone whom wants to eat it. The ducks if treated like the farms I visited in France are not treated in humanly. I feel we should make every efforts in making sure all duck farms treat their ducks correctly but not ban them at all! The ducks I witnessed are treated like royalty and only their last month do they get fed twice a day with a tube and believe me they are not suffering.<BR/><BR/>I will make every effort to educate people that foi gras is a great food and that the ducks are not treated badly! I think ignorant people are taking it to the extreme and should be ashamed at your tactics and misrepresentation of foi gras!primazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935283054546725532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10089060.post-1157397137519983022006-09-04T12:12:00.000-07:002006-09-04T12:12:00.000-07:00I love Fois Gras..so delicate.I love Fois Gras..so delicate.wheresmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773597023205510781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10089060.post-1157390825822955542006-09-04T10:27:00.000-07:002006-09-04T10:27:00.000-07:00Those bastards banned Fois Gras here in Chicago - ...Those bastards banned Fois Gras here in Chicago - and every Chef is furious and mad. I wonder what they will ban next: Veal? Eggs? Bacon? <BR/><BR/>I had Marrow spread on toast with fleur de sel - that's really good. <BR/><BR/>My Fish Store (http://www.dirksfish.com/) does not carry Copper River Salmon, or at least I never saw it there.

ANYWAY! oysters, salmon.... brilliant minds think alike. Maybe it is something to do with being born there? By the ocean... spending time there? having family there? <BR/>yes, maybe it is a lifestyle thing after all. I mean, my sister was born nowhere near an ocean and she HATES all seafood :)<BR/>so next time i visit, i will try those amazing tomatoes too!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316960984452149315noreply@blogger.com
