In 2012 KSBY interviewed me regarding California's adoption of a ban on
foie gras. The ban was just lifted, and last Thursday KSBY returned to
interview me again.
Rich, buttery, and delicate, foie gras is not like ordinary duck or
goose liver. It comes from geese or ducks that have been force fed to
fatten their livers, and this force feeding is strongly condemned by
animal rights advocates. The KSBY interview (click here to see the video) treated the controversy.
Now it turns out that foie gras may come from geese that haven't been
force fed. As noted in the video, there is a place in Spain where the
birds are free; on their own, they eat whatever they like including
acorns and figs. I plan to visit the La Patería de Sousa when I go to Spain this summer.
