The fat years are over - Foie Gras banned in California as of 1st July.

I thought I smelled cabbage.

He and Marti are besties!

What does Foie Gras taste like?  I've never eaten it. I really don't care for offal to begin with.

To me, like potted meat.

It has the consistency/texture of cold butter - very dense and very very smooth. With a very delicate savoury taste to it.

I generally don't care one way or the other about this.  If people want to eat garbage, I don't see any reason to stop them.  I mean, we don't stop Cal.  I am amused by some of the outrage though.

it's disgusting.  Uncooked, it has a nice texture, compared to other liver products.  It does look like it's yummy.  But it's not.
It's supposed to be cooked lightly (barely cooked) in sugar and butter, and you should eat it with a sweet white wine.  Disgusting.

it's more a case about theoritical animal suffering than what people eat.  If it's banned because it contains too much calories, then the entire US restaurant industry is in dire trouble.

Yes, we had a similar thread a year ago.  How ever some persons were taking the opposite position.  Of course that law was aimed at religious minorities and animal cruelty was simply used as a cover.  http://languish.org/forums/index.php/topic,5349.0.html  Well one person was at least...

not again, please.... 
if restaurant owner is known to have crap food he goes out of business 

You can have healthcode violations and still have tasty (albeit dirty) food.  After all we wouldn't need health inspectors if just by eating the food you could tell that everything was in tip top shape in the kitchen.

Speaking as someone who has experience in the food service industry, a lot of the things that will cause a restaurant to lose points on health inspections have very little direct impact on the quality or safety of the food.  For example, in the places I worked in food service, regulations require that a restaurant have a cover on its garbage dumpster.  It's actually a fairly serious deduction of points if you don't, but it obviously doesn't directly affect food safety.  And few of the things that do directly affect food safety will get a restaurant shut down immediately--even most serious violations will just result in the establishment being given a certain period of time in which to fix them.

Normally, no matter how filthy and disgusting a place is, the only thing that will get a restaurant shut down immediately is if their freezer or cooler isn't working.

Wouldn't lack of garbage cover attract undesirable visitors?

Hey, Caliga's not undesireable.

Liverwurst on rye with brown mustard and raw onion is one of my favorites.
