How can you describe the excessively fatty liver of a duck/goose that has had a metal tube forced down it's throat twice a day, everyday, to force feed it as disgusting? Clearly you have no class.

Canis Lupus have you ever eaten a pork pie? Google how they are pretared.

Check out the chicken factories that produce 70 million chickens annually, 4 million turkeys and eggs from 2 million hens.

Now, you might think that feeding such numbers allows for set meal times with ration approate for comfort and good living. Ohh, That's ireland only, if you include the brit mainland...

November 2015 figures.

• UK commercial layer chick placings were up by 10% to 3.7 million chicks.
• UK broiler chick placings were up by 6.7% at 96.0 million chicks.
• Turkey chick placings were down by 5.1% at 1.1 million chicks.
• Turkey slaughterings were up by 1.0% at 2.1 million birds.
• UK broiler slaughterings were 5.2% higher at 90.3 million birds.
• Total UK poultry meat production was 171.3 thousand tonnes, up 2.1%.


The amount of birds under forced feed for diners is miniscule in comparison.

I can only assume that huge number of French people that regard Foie Gras as delicy are all wrong and classless. I'm sure they will be pleased to knoww that.

If you've never tried Foie Gras.........or maybe you are a vegan?

No offense taken, each to their own, but taste... that's a whole different thing.

A pork pie? Is that what you think us common folk eat?

ROFL... even the most innocent of question can be made into an incident.

Inverse snobbery, never a nice thing in any form but... the old saying, if the cap fits, wear it.

You've dragged up the age old argument about Foie Gras but ignore all the accepted "malpractice"in the food chain. You mention steel tube, it's not flexible enough and would cause considerable pain and suffering to the bird.

The term "gavage" (pronunciation: /ɡəˈvɑːʒ/) refers to the supplying of a nutritional substance by means of a small plastic feeding tube passed through the nose (nasogastric) or mouth (orogastric) into the stomach.

It's all about a willingness to try new tastes, new ways of preparations, the new flavours and deciding which suits your own palate.

Trying to turn it into a class argument, reflects more on your preconceptions than my open mindedness about food.

When I first posted an expensive dish, the mod inferred that people could not afford that type of food. To me, that is a terrible thing to assume, precict or even intimate... Does that mean nobody can look at a car they can't afford. They can't visit an art gallery because they can't afford the paintings.

That is the worse kind of intolerance.

No Thanks, The only meat that DOESN'T go into a donner kebab is pork. The rest is covered up by the sauce... Trading standards raided a local kebab shop and they were unable to determine what was in the Donner. The label on the stock in the fridge didn't have enough info.

But, if you're happy with Donner Kebabs, good luck.

That's an interesting point, Donner Kebab and halal meat.

The Arabic word halal means permissible, and the rules of slaughter are based on Islamic law. The animal has to be alive and healthy, a Muslim has to perform the slaughter in the appropriate ritual manner, and the animal's throat must be cut by a sharp knife severing the carotid artery, jugular vein and windpipe in a single swipe. Blood must be drained out of the carcass.

There are various thoughts on the method and the beast's physical reaction. Whether the adrenelin released by the fear of the slaughter actually contaminates the blood stream as it drains.

The belief that it is a cleaner method is offset by the pain suffered by the beast.

You could say, food for thought.
