Le foie gras mi-fumé en copeaux sur un lit de champignons confits à l’huile vierge


Robuchon, appetizer 2: This looks like a pizza but the base is really is made of slices of tastily cooked big mushroom. On top are curls of smoked foie gras. The mushroom is silky and the foie is wonderfully creamy. What a wonderful combination!

The "wonderfully creamy" foie gras is made by force-feeding confined ducks for two weeks until their livers expand 10 times their normal size. This is abusive to the animals and completely inhumane. Not at all "wonderful."

Grains and vegetable are grown by mass extermination of insects and most other wildlife, can they really be morally considered vegetarian food? For the anatomy of a duck, force feeding does not cause discomfort like it would on human beings.
