I noticed that mashed fatty liver in some places is called"smashed fatty liver" but in france it is called "foie gras."

WHat is the differance?

Shhhh! Don't mention the f-word in front of Bernie. You think his avatar looks pissed off now...:eek:

To answer your question, though -- The price. you pay ten times as much for foie gras.

Ironically, some of the best of it in the US comes from new jersey

It comes from force fed geese and duck liver and it's far tastier than your average liver or pate. Everyone knows when you torture animals they taste better!

California recently passed a law prohibiting the force-feeding of birds for foie gras.
So they've switched the birds' diet from grains to McDonald's french fries.
Same result.

I thought it wasn't recommended to eat organs. :confused:

depends on the organ ;)

Well treated animals can taste good too. It was my goal to eat something that had lived mine, and probably many other mens' fantasy. I ate some Kobe beef. It was spectacular, and I can't describe the taste or you all will flee from your rooms to get some, despite the exorbitant price. Kobe cows are fed the best food, BEER, and massaged daily for a year. Sometimes I wish I was the Emporer of Beef.

depends on the organ ;)

Oh, tigger.....GOOD answer!

I saw this awful moving called "Swimming Pool" -- well, it wasn't entirely unwatchable because Ludivine Sagnier (I had to look it up) spends a great deal of screen time with nothing on --

But anyway, there's this scene where, with her Fronch accent she says "I weel 'ave to eat ze foie gras ul ulone" or some shit like that, and I thought she said she was going to play Frogger all alone.

Not really sure where I'm going with this.

^^ LMAO, you are too funny!!

It's the French's fault. They just gotta have them fancy names for everything. :mad:
