Foei Gras...
-
Hi guys...
do you some place that serves great duck liver or foei gras??
I only know and taste the duck liver in Les Amis the canteen...
It's great, love at the first time...crunchy on the outside...soft in the inside...
Want to eat it again..hahaha..
So...any comment? -
Foie gras (translated literally from French as "fatty liver" ) is produced by cruel and inhumane farming practices.
At just a few months old, ducks or geese are confined inside dark sheds and force-fed enormous amounts of food several times a day. A farm worker grabs each bird and, one by one, thrusts a metal pipe down their throats so that a mixture of corn can be forced directly into their gullets. In just a matter of weeks, the birds become grossly overweight and their livers expand up to 10 times their normal size.
As a result, the birds raised for foie gras have difficulty standing, walking, and even breathing. Many of them die before the end of the force-feeding cycle, and the mortality rate for ducks raised on foie gras farms is among the highest in the farming industry. Necropsies performed on foie gras ducks have shown extreme obesity, impaction of undigested food in the esophagus, lacerations in the throat, and a proliferation of bacterial and fungal growth in their upper digestive tracts.
Scientific research on foie gras ducks has shown, among other things, that "because normal liver function is seriously impaired in birds with the hypertrophied liver which occurs at the end of force feeding, the level of steatosis should be considered pathological" and that "it is clear that steatosis and other effects of force feeding are lethal when the procedures are continued." -
woah.. its a delicacy leh

soooo... do you protest when dogs are beaten up and ill-treated before being slaughtered for the pot in Korea?

Ducks and geese are evil, they should die anyway.

This is not a place to argue..
For me, foei gras is okay..

damn i still dunno how u pronounce it
reminds me of a funny incident, went to a thai restuarant, i wanted to order a dish, but have no idea how to pronounce that dish, so i just told the waiteress i want this dish, pointing it to her, after that, i decided to ask her how do u call that, guess what the reply, "i have no idea too, i am a singaporean !"
no wonder they say our service attitude is not there, people don't even bother to know what food they are selling -

By the way, escargots are delish too! Especially when they're butter-baked with garlic sauce...Yummy!
This two are my fav appetizers! -
Yup, I like them too...as well as raw oysters and caviar...sadly all the nice things I like tend to be fattening, have high cholesterol levels and expensive. But as Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist everything except temptation."Originally posted by reign_royce:ya, I know. I allow myself to eat it only twice a month or less
