reminds me of years ago going into murray's cheese in new york and seeing an entire case full of French "lait crut" cheeses.

I used to think "tongue" was just a name, until my dad took me to the butcher and I saw the whole tongue sitting there. If I had been on the LA health board I would have banned it right then and there.

Can you do foie without force feed? Just give them lots of grain?

supposedly, there is one farm in spain that is doing this. the issue is that, particularly when they're outside of migration season, they don't naturally overeat enough to result in a good liver. they're unlike me in that way.

Can restaurants in California pull what Chicago restaurants did and give the foie gras for "free" and charge say $25 for condiments and bread?

omfg people this isn't a real issue. People make it seem like they're banning the use of salt. It's just one ingredient that even I only want to eat like once a month and it won't be hard to do that at all.
