Foie Gras - felt guilty after eating it

[carebear]

Funz:

No need to state your opinion mah, just say not your cup of tea. I know, not absolutely honest. Sometimes a white lie may be necessary.

But no need to feel guilty oso. At least goose lost it's liver to someone who totally empathised with what it went through.

oops

Thanks for making me feel not so guilty.
I felt bad cos my gal said that by eating it, I am supporting the trade.

[MMM]

This reminded me of my first encounter with foie gras.


My first foie gras was at a top french restaurant in Singapore. It was a company function. I almost puked when I ate it while people around me were enjoying the "delicacy". In fact, I felt really sick and felt like vomitting after that.
I was never a liver person to begin… The 2nd time they brought us to equinox and foie gras on the menu again (as boss is french).

I just politely declined and offered it to someone else…I just cannot bring myself to stomach it.

Actually I love it but have stopped cos I do feel guilty but whenever it is offered, I will eat cos I like it and deed has already been done the the animal…


Don’t need to feel too bad lah…the animal’s suffering at least was over once it was dead…

Saw a document about how they feed these geese. The geese are not allowed to roam about. They are actually restrained and there will be tubes shoved down their throats and these tubes will pump food directly into their stomachs. These geese are deliberately overfed so that they will develop enlarged and fatty livers. So essentially they are unhealthy geese and foie gras is diseased liver. :sick:


And to make you more guilty, the chicken/beef/pork/fish we eat are not treated that well too. So long as they are commercially farmed, they will not be living 'quality' life.

Hey.... the goose is not treated like the wagyu cattle which get to eat good grains, listen to music and get massaged.

These goose and ducks are forced fed and a tube is stuck down their throat to load their stomachs with food.
