Foie gras is yet another case of the anthropomorphic factor at play. If you think about it we treat other food in a far more cruel manner. Look at oysters. We pry them open live, slice their attaching tendons, then shovel them in our mouths.

btw, quite often restaurants substitute duck liver for goose liver and call it foie gras. Real, fresh FG almost melts in your mouth. imo, it's delicious but very rich.

doesn't that all happen, after it's dead?

also, oysters are fscking gross.
i don't care how good a loogie might taste, i'm not gonna slurp one down my gullet.

if it tastes like a loogie it's probably a shitty oyster =P

good oysters + lemon + cocktail sauce + fresh horseradish = godly

I don't really care for oysters, but they are a bazillion times better than foie gras.

I'd like to try it at some time in life. None of the really high end stuff though.
