NO! Cultivating fois gras in unacceptably inhumane and should not be allowed under any circumstances. what kind of barbarbarian society would allow us to....hold on my girlfriend is making me try a piece of foie gras......ok fuck it this shit is delicious.
Once upon a time, long ago, I spent several days Scuba Diving in the "Ocean". Treating ourselves daily to "Native Cuisine", many of us, me for sure, began feeling cold in a Tropical setting. Suffice to say, our week included various forms of Fresh Seafood, Rice, Beans, more seafood, breakfeast fruit and toast. On one occasion I escaped the crowd and enjoyed an Island Italian Mayan restaurant...Meat was on the menu in a wonderful setting. The next day my coldness disappeared. Meat = heat.
Not only do I love foie gras, but I love that these Japanese people wasted many pounds of the stuff purely for entertainment. Think of how many enlarged livers and force fed ducks died for our entertainment? I love the decadence.
@hoyle1911 --think of how many mother's sons died in wars during the 20th century alone. Then think of all the deaths in wars since the beginning of human history. Ducks' lives pale before those numbers.
And, specifically to Foodieholic; are you really serious? Have you ever seen the ducks actually killed? Contact IBP; see if they'll let you into one of their plants to see how they butcher their cattle. Better yet, go to a chicken farm and tell me that's more humane than the foie process. As for Greger, if the high levels of materials have already been found with no links to disease then how could there possibly be a problem? The process has been around for THOUSANDS of years without issue.
I know it has been a while but i agree with you 100%.
Until the world is able to feed everyone all the time there will be no way of treating food product animals "Humanly"
I live in a place where the seal hunt is a way of life and it pisses me off that because they are "cute" actors and people of "power" are trying to stop it yet when they go home they will eat a veal steak.
Seal meat is one of the best meats i have ever tasted its black in color and tastes like fish and is really good for you
I'd like to thank the idiot a few posts down for spelling foie gras, "fois" gras. That made me chuckle. If you can't spell it I'm going to assume you know very little about the actual process and are simply spewing rhetoric you heard from someone else.
From the online article, "Potential Health Risks Associated With Stressed Foodstuffs Such As Foie Gras" by Dr. Greger, from the Humane Society:
Greger explains that a biochemical mechanism akin to the replication of similar protein fragments in ... mad cow disease, might occur when amyloid fibrils enter brain tissue or the pancreas. He points out that high levels of these materials can be found in pâté de foie gras, fatty liver pate, produced by force-feeding poultry.
That's a paragraph intentionally designed to confuse someone into thinking it has any validity. But that's nothing new to your people and your pseudo scientific views.
What appalls me is the number of celebrities, even chefs, who continue to wax lyrical in print over the joys of foie gras. These people, immensely influential, are in effect recommending a product which is the result of such barbaric cruelty to ducks and geese that in a humane world would not be allowed. How can they be so ignorant? Some are however not ignorant but happy to put their own momentary satisfaction before the welfare of animals & worse even than that, encourage others to do the same
I am in no means a vegetarian...if anything Im a carnivore but there are some things I wont eat...Mcdonalds, KFC for how they treat their chiken and fois gras. All of which ive seen how the animals are treated.
The meat in supermarket, im fairly certain they dont get treated well but I have a limit to censorship lol
Agreed, i too am no vegetarian, and it certainly takes more effort and money to eat in ways that are ethically responsible to animals. Chickens are probably the worst (obviously not including the hideous foie gras industry) in the factory farming world. And then pigs, they are higher up than dogs and cats, just under dolphins in terms of evolution. They suffer greatly.
But the fact that people still support the practice of force feeding just floors me... we have such a long way to go.
And the whole "Clubbing" seals thing is exactly what happens to cows when they are about to be "sent to the market"
Anybody who eats meat has no right to judge how we get it unless they don't eat it at all and even still there is not enough food in the world as is to try to force your moral rights onto another person because they like to eat meat.
Penn Gelete once said "Until you and yours are starving you should Shut The Fuck Up!"
Well, we can see that fat bastard Penn has not missed too many meals, even vegetarian ones; it is a fallacious argument of the false dilemma; one can oppose the inhumane treatment and killing of animals without being insensitive to the want of humans.
By the way, Penn and Teller also believe that Oswald was the lone nut killer of JFK--that does not impress me with their powers of reasoning and the honesty of their research.
well for one. I said nothing about their research or anything about the show. i was quoting Penn lol and who cares if you think 30 people killed JFK it does not change anything the man is dead.
you should of just ended your thought with the first paragraph and skipped the endings =P this is about food not conspiracy theories
Well, you twit, if 30 people were invovled in killing JFK maybe the American people should know about it; maybe it was done for a serious reason, like, I don't know, escalating the War in Vietnam? You know what that was right? Or are you too busy watching cooking shows.
And you wanted us to accept El Gordo as an authority right, or else why quote him?
lol wtf i was talking about food and you are here freaking about some stupid crap.
And yes i am too busy watching cooking shows then freaking out over something i have no clue about for one. second i am only 22 so i was not even alive when that happened and third I am Canadian, why should I stress over JFK being killed?
Oh and how did you find my comment by chance? Oh was it from watching a cooking show?
Sadly, I fully agree with you. You are 100% correct.
For me personally I avoid stuff that are specific. Foie Gras, Mcdees, KFC. Of course I cant stop all meat because I am more of a carnivore myself lol but you are right
Fight against production of foods like foie gras and veal.
Then go through the drive thru on your way home.
I'm in no hurry to give support to inhumane animal treatment considering that it has been proven that controlled treatment of animals for slaughter prevens diseases to the eaters. But at the same time, i'm in no hurry to turn vegan when the honest truth is that there is not enough of it to go around. Being humane doesn't mean you can't be realistic.
@sthoopedrick --Sounds to me like we better start reducing the number of humans on the planet by big time birth control. That's what we should focus on. A world with no more than one billion humans would be a world with no food problems, what do you say?
think of it. most families will have 1-3 kids at the least. so every 50 years or so the population is at least doubled to even quadrupled, and there is not enough food to go around as is, so how do you think the world will do 100 years from now let alone how much space that would take up for those people to live.
to keep this shorter, though you are trying to be funny (i think) i do fully agree with you.
@sthoopedrick there is a fine line between necessity of food and torture.... foie gras farms are made so that they can not naturally but forcefully grow the ducks liver and then kill it inhumanely for a nice liver that is needed for foie gras... ps the female ducklings are killed at 1 day old... their livers have veins thus not good enough for a good foie gras... as for the killing of animals and livestock for food.... we need meat for sustenance and for health
@tranqillo and further more i do not condone hallal meat which is inhumane to animals... slit their throats and wait for them to bleed to death before consuming it.... we all have to eat.... next time you shove a hamburger in your mouth think about the way it was made.... and if you ever eat foie gras which is a delicacy more than a meal think about the expensive price tag it comes with....
@tranqillo i trap, skin and cook rabbits, don't try pulling that guilt trip shit on me, its people like that, who stop eating meat and become self righteous over those who still do, and try to guilt them into becoming vegetarians.
how about the next time you try to shove your self righteous vegan ways down someones throat you should do so in a manner that does not simply guilt the person or scare them into following your ways because that is along the lines of terrorism my friend
@sthoopedrick Im sorry mate, didn't mean to ruffle feathers, I should have assumed you were a red neck hill billie with no real idea of the world around him in fact should have assumed your lack of hygiene would probably contribute up to 50% of earth's ozone layer erosion and finally, should have assumed that your assumption of me being a vegan flower power opium smoking hippie shoving political and personal agenda on you was a ploy to guilt you, don't wanna guilt you into anything :) truce? :)
@tranqillo wow you are really funny. i am sorry my comment made you get this way,but i am sick of people trying to make me feel bad for eating meat. yeah i know there are fucked up things going on when it comes to how meat is being mass packaged and farmed, but if they were to take in everyone's way to "humanly" produce meat the cost would go through the roof and everyone who was poor would not be able to afford it and it would mean even less people can eat
-Adding on- when i found out how KFC farm workers were treating the chickens i stopped going there, that does not mean i stopped eating chicken or would try to get others to not go there. it is not the persons fault for trying to get food where it is cheap, it is the company's fault for trying to cut corners and allow workers to do the things they do that need to make the change. i believe it is wrong to try to make a person feel guilty for trying to feed themselves and their families.
@sthoopedrick dont apologize man its fine, you didnt make me get any way :) i understand when people try and guilt you into not eating meat i love my steak hahaha but what i meant was....there is a difference between eating meat to survive or making tasty food out of mass produced meat and force feeding ducks untill their livers are diseased and over sized just to make a delicacy, plus its not natural for a ducks liver to get that big, and for it to get that big they have to start feeding....
@tranqillo them from day one...ps only the male duck live as the female ducklings have too many veins in their liver they get killed... day one.. i completely agree with you on food, we need it to survive, as i said before but we should also respect that we count on it for survival not manipulate it because we are on the top of the food chain, which is what foie gras is...if you deep fry a chicken you know you will eat all of it.. foie gras, the duck is only used for its liver ....
@tranqillo then the carcass is thrown away,eat meat eat veggies just be mindful like you say of cruelty... in your case the kfc chicken farm in the ducks case... its liver :) good conversation though... sorry if i came across as agenda pushing or conceited
@sthoopedrick The point is not to treat them Humanly, it is just too disgusting to slaughter them that way. They can kill it, then feather out. Making foie gras is too much.. We can still LIVE without eating foie grass, have you seen how they make these things? It's disgusting!!
I dream of working there. I arrive at 4am, put the gloves on, the sweat beading, shoulder movement up and down, i pace right and left, then DING DING right left uppercut SLAM,BAM SONK, take this fucking stupid duck, FUCK YOU. Then, comes the great part, stuffin that feedrod down their troaths, at the speed of light, hold the trigger until shit comes out of their fucking eyes...man, I'm getting a boner just thinking about it....
i think this whole "foie gras is torture thing" is an american thing. Im from the UK, ive been to foie gras farms in europe and the US. The americans are literally farming it, while giving no regard to the animal, hense the conception of these ideas. The european farms, although of smaller scale, treat the animals very well from what i saw. Keep in mind that you yanks not only treat ducks badly, but chickens, cattle and other animals. Watch Earthlings to get my point :)
Not all US Farms are terrible to their animals... Small scale family farms are usually much more concerned with the animals well-being during its life rather than just the profit of its death
the thing is, when you mass produce livestock in any form the small pens is the only real way to do it. otherwise you have to have huge huge HUGE facilities with alot of empty unused space (fields), which makes the final product more expensive (takes more space and produces less output). as far as "cruelty" goes it's not like they run around slashing geese randomly or something. they're crummy living conditions but they're literally being farmed.
and you CAN buy the "humane" spanish foei gras, where they only slaughter the geese right before migration when the geese naturally force feed themselves. however the foie gras produced this way is rougher (less fatty/buttery), and of lower quality, and alot smaller AND to add insult to injury it's ALOT more expensive, mostly because it can only be farmed once a year.
the choices are there, you want humane you have to pay a massive premium and accept a loss in quality for foie gras.
Foie gras is so lovely to eat, I use this shit everywhere, on crackers, toasts, pancakes, waffles, in hamburgers, I even make some foie gras dogs, man delicious. The holy grahal of this shit is to use a thick slice of foie gras between 2 even thicker slices, I ate this one, man, I had a hard on eating this, beautiful with a chocolate malt. Fuck, I dumped my load at the very end...
Even though Komei Nakamura has a second worse winning percentage, lets focus the positive side of him: He defeated Michiba in the new years battle, He defeated Morimoto in the egg battle, Tied with Passard in the Iron Chef world cup, and defeated Yukio Hattori in his retirement battle

Dude you should watch the Foie Gras undercover videos. The Birds a fed, and then you see some spew from some of them, out the excess from being way overfed. Anyway, u cant deny feeding something so much it gets a diseased liver is sickening in anybodys langauge, and it is for this exact reason it's banned in many counties, and or proposed bans set for the near future. Would you like to be fed 15 big macs 3 times per day! ??
Do you guys have ANY clue what kind of cruelty goes on into making foie gras? You should be ashamed to use it in any recipes. I can't blame the average eater, they stuff their faces with anything you put in front of them. But you chefs should know better: you should know what kind of treatment the ducks and geese go through to make their livers so sickened and grossly enlarged to make your stupid pate.
Find substitutes to your incredibly cruel food, you ninnies!
You're right it is a cruel food but as far as this substitute you speak of, there really is none. Have you ever eaten foie gras?, the richness, the texture, how it literally melts in your mouth like ice cream. You just can't recreate that with anything.
It is a cruelly made food but really all modern industrial agricultural foods are cruelly produced. While industrial chicken farms produce shit quality and tasting eggs, the foie gras industry creates food fit for gods.
Sure, it's good; I'm sorry to say that I ate it, back when I was clueless about what happened to the animals who suffered and died because of it. Now that I know better, I choose not to consume it, and not contribute to the cruelty. If everyone REALLY knew what horrible suffering went on to produce it, I think very few would eat it. Many choose to not believe it or close their minds to the abuse, preferring to satisfy their palates rather than their consciences.

Out of the three Iron Chef Japanese, Michiba is my favorite. He was the man! Long live Iron Chef Japan! I wish Morimoto was as good on Iron Chef America (which is a joke) as he was on Iron Chef Japan.
They just repeated this on Australian TV, as is, except that the commercial lead-in was changed. The sound remains, but instead of saying "IRON CHEF" it says "Six Billion Stories and Counting - SBS".
-LOL. HAHAHA. Iron Chef Japan fans can ACCEPT FACTS when its staring them IN THE FACE and can't ACCEPT defeat!
THE COLD HARD FACTS:
-Flay has won over Morimoto in their rematch.
-Flay has won over "King of Iron Chefs" Sakai
-Batali has won over Morimoto
-Wolfgang Puck has beaten Morimoto
Hate it! Hate it will all your heart! It still does not change the fact that your beloved Japanese Iron Chefs LOST!!! Keep voting thumbs down!!! That shows how much you guys are sore losers!!!
Mikiwink, You may think that Iron Chef America chefs are hacks compared to the Iron Chefs but the Iron Chef America chefs BEAT the Iron Chefs in matches.
-Flay has won over Morimoto in their rematch.
-Flay has won over "King of Iron Chefs" Sakai

Although you put the Iron Chefs on a pedestal and can't accept any of them losing and (will probably make excuses), the Iron Chef America chefs have talent and beat the Iron Chefs

the results from the first ICA does raise my brows because, ALL the American Iron Chefs beat the original Japanese Iron Chefs. i can't shake the feeling that the decision was either biased or staged, to promote the ICA, and it's legitimacy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
iron chef america is a joke compared to this... did you see the latest one... ham? i mean ar you kidding me? compared to the japanese sow's iron chef's the american "iron chefs" are hacks
For a quick refresher, the Ohta faction is a group of several dozen Japanese-style chefs who are appalled that Morimoto incorporates elements of other cuisines in his neo-Japanese (also called 'fusion') style of cooking. They are doubly appalled that Chairman Kaga chose him to represent the epitome of Japanese cuisine by selecting him as Iron Chef Japanese.
Needless to say, they fought Morimoto a few times and the faction lost 3 times in a row...
Regardless though, Morimoto was only a notch above Koumei (the chef who replaced Michiba) and in ICA, has become a shadow of his former self with a W/L of about 55%. Morimoto needs to remember his days where he challenged a faction who questioned him and took on and won, the new Morimoto is a pathetic joke.
consider the fact that the bar has been raised, which Morimoto helped to raise, in the culinary world, partly due to the original Iron Chef. i don't think Morimoto is worse than he used to be; the competition has simply caught up to him. even Flay, i think has improved VASTLY since his first appearances in the Japanese specials. his dishes look much more complex and thought out now.
i think Ishinabe was by far the worst. in one episode, he lost to a French guy who made ONE DISH, out of CHICKEN. he made another dish, but it didn't have any chicken!
I am not basing this on winning percentage really, I just think Nakamura is just so... uninteresting; he brings nothing to the table that surpasses Michiba. Just my opinion.
Hi, oneillbrown, your entitled of course to think my views are crap, I just think it's interesting when someone's comments are hidden- this is a public forum, one would think that there would be more tolerance for opposing views. And I don't eat meat.
No matter what you think about foie gras, what's done to the birds is cruel. That's just a fact.
orpheusine: cruelty is subjective. I don't really disagree with you, but what's cruel in one sphere is embraced in another. Whaling was a staple of Western society for many years, but now that it isn't, we descry other cultures for continuing the practice; subjectively of course.
It's interesting that my comment is now hidden, or marked as spam. I guess, most commenting here don't believe in free speech. You all had your say. Is there something in my comment that rings true- so you don't want to see it?
We believe in free speech, we just believe that what you said here is crap. Other side of the story...you can also look right here on youtube and find plenty of videos disputing the fact that foie gras is cruel. If you eat meat, and don't think that it is cruel to do so, than foie gras is really no different.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As the quote in the begining says "Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell you what you are."(Brillat-Savarin), then can it not be said that anyone who eats foie gras(or cooks with it) is party to or is endorsing the cruelty involved in the making of the product? If you are not familiar with the process, you will find quite a few videos on youtube that show the horror of it. Look for yourself, anyone with a heart would have to admit that these birds suffer cruelly and unnecessarily.
"Workers force-feed the ducks so they develop a disease called hepatic lipidosis. The liver expands from the normal size up to 12 times larger.", this is not normal its diseased. I by no means say stop producing the stuff I would sooner do something about the homeless then fight for animal rights, but please don't fool yourself into thinking that this delicacy is anything but a diseased liver.
i think it's more accurately described as a condition since it's deliberately induced. trying to impart negativity associated with disease is a play on emotion rather than logic. it's also manipulative, you punk. anyways, if the duck had a disease that made it taste infinitely better, the chefs would want more! would you call someone with lots of toned muscle a diseased freak because they look like they have hypertonia? i reiterate my stance - you a punk. and me too.
Dude, before you reply to someone using the English language try using it properly before responding, you horses ass! Also someone who has cancer is also suffering from a condition so yes its a condition and a DISEASE, you brain dead diseased liver eating retard. Trying to use semantics to disprove something that is the same thing is not gonna change the fact that what your eating is still diseased liver and using different words to describe your so called delicacy is STILL a DISEASED LIVER!
Why are you wasting your time arguing about something so trivial? It is a food item, nothing more. You may be better off "voting with your diet" and choosing to eat what you support, not arguing on youtube, you silly person. Besides, it's not like we are eating the damn duck alive!
Ducks are not "dogs with feathers" birds are a world away from mammals, and the liver becoming fatty happens naturally when water foul gorge themselves before migratory flying, and was discovered by accident in Ancient Egypt. If you have a fatty liver, see a doctor because you're a mammal, you're not evolved from dinosaurs.

Actually Mr Dillweed , pretty much all foie grass eaten these days is duck liver...but you don't actually eat it ,so I don't expect you to have a clue what you are talking about.

Estos chefs son verdaderas leyendas, los admiro y respeto, pero el Foie Grass es una aberración, es una verguenza para la humanidad, no debemos promoverlo en TV. We can STOP this.
Komei Nakamura took over when Michiba retired, but he lost so many battles that the Chairman soon replaced him with Morimoto. He wasn't around all that long.
He didn't lose too many battles, not like Kobe and Morimoto. He wasn't necessarily replaced either. He left on his own will. Kandagawa came and Nakamura said if he lost the match against Kandagawa that he would retire. Kandagawa won. Thus, he left. Morimoto came in. I'd say his career of 2 years is pretty long enough during the run of Iron Chef.
Nakamura's performance was, however, to borrow a phrase from wikipedia, "sub-par." he had a 24-11-1 win/loss/tie record, and the drama of the show is scripted anyway, I'm sure his "retirement" had at least a little to do with ratings. Now don't get me wrong, I am a huge Iron Chef fan, and I know the cooking is real, however the drama and storylines that are created, wonderfully entertaining as they are, including "Chairman" Kaga, are fictional (Takeshi Kaga is a well known actor in Japan).
Wikipedia, I see. While I know that the dramatic sequences are basically to put impact and excitement on the show, I'm pretty sure his retirement also had to do with pressure as well, though. Well, I saw the actual battle when I was in Japan, but sadly, I couldn't understand it because it wasn't dubbed and there were no subtitles, and also I can't speak Japanese. I just remembered that Nakamura had been in that situation.

Chickens are probably the worst (obviously not including the hideous foie gras industry) in the factory farming world. And then pigs, they are higher up than dogs and cats, just under dolphins in terms of evolution. They suffer greatly.
But the fact that people still support the practice of force feeding just floors me... we have such a long way to go.

I mean yes we will eat them but still treat them with respect

Cows get a sledgehammer to the head.
Chickens get put through de-feathering machines alive.
and i am rather sure Pigs are hung by their ankles and have their throat sliced and bleed to death upside down.
And that is your Supermarket meat.
Until the world is able to feed EVERYONE there should be no talk about how the food is being prepared.
If all of the world started treating all food products"Humanly" then we would all be vegetarians unless we were rich enough to afford it.

To add on to my post to Bladd101
And the whole "Clubbing" seals thing is exactly what happens to cows when they are about to be "sent to the market"
Anybody who eats meat has no right to judge how we get it unless they don't eat it at all and even still there is not enough food in the world as is to try to force your moral rights onto another person because they like to eat meat.

Well, we can see that fat bastard Penn has not missed too many meals, even vegetarian ones; it is a fallacious argument of the false dilemma; one can oppose the inhumane treatment and killing of animals without being insensitive to the want of humans.
By the way, Penn and Teller also believe that Oswald was the lone nut killer of JFK--that does not impress me with their powers of reasoning and the honesty of their research.

well for one. I said nothing about their research or anything about the show. i was quoting Penn lol and who cares if you think 30 people killed JFK it does not change anything the man is dead.
you should of just ended your thought with the first paragraph and skipped the endings =P this is about food not conspiracy theories

Well, you twit, if 30 people were invovled in killing JFK maybe the American people should know about it; maybe it was done for a serious reason, like, I don't know, escalating the War in Vietnam? You know what that was right? Or are you too busy watching cooking shows.

Preach against inhumane treatments.
Fight against production of foods like foie gras and veal.
Then go through the drive thru on your way home.
I'm in no hurry to give support to inhumane animal treatment considering that it has been proven that controlled treatment of animals for slaughter prevens diseases to the eaters. But at the same time, i'm in no hurry to turn vegan when the honest truth is that there is not enough of it to go around. Being humane doesn't mean you can't be realistic.

@sthoopedrick there is a fine line between necessity of food and torture.... foie gras farms are made so that they can not naturally but forcefully grow the ducks liver and then kill it inhumanely for a nice liver that is needed for foie gras... ps the female ducklings are killed at 1 day old... their livers have veins thus not good enough for a good foie gras... as for the killing of animals and livestock for food.... we need meat for sustenance and for health

-Adding on- when i found out how KFC farm workers were treating the chickens i stopped going there, that does not mean i stopped eating chicken or would try to get others to not go there. it is not the persons fault for trying to get food where it is cheap, it is the company's fault for trying to cut corners and allow workers to do the things they do that need to make the change. i believe it is wrong to try to make a person feel guilty for trying to feed themselves and their families.

@sthoopedrick dont apologize man its fine, you didnt make me get any way :) i understand when people try and guilt you into not eating meat i love my steak hahaha but what i meant was....there is a difference between eating meat to survive or making tasty food out of mass produced meat and force feeding ducks untill their livers are diseased and over sized just to make a delicacy, plus its not natural for a ducks liver to get that big, and for it to get that big they have to start feeding....

@tranqillo them from day one...ps only the male duck live as the female ducklings have too many veins in their liver they get killed... day one.. i completely agree with you on food, we need it to survive, as i said before but we should also respect that we count on it for survival not manipulate it because we are on the top of the food chain, which is what foie gras is...if you deep fry a chicken you know you will eat all of it.. foie gras, the duck is only used for its liver ....

i think this whole "foie gras is torture thing" is an american thing. Im from the UK, ive been to foie gras farms in europe and the US. The americans are literally farming it, while giving no regard to the animal, hense the conception of these ideas. The european farms, although of smaller scale, treat the animals very well from what i saw. Keep in mind that you yanks not only treat ducks badly, but chickens, cattle and other animals. Watch Earthlings to get my point :)

the thing is, when you mass produce livestock in any form the small pens is the only real way to do it. otherwise you have to have huge huge HUGE facilities with alot of empty unused space (fields), which makes the final product more expensive (takes more space and produces less output). as far as "cruelty" goes it's not like they run around slashing geese randomly or something. they're crummy living conditions but they're literally being farmed.
kingbane2 2 years ago
and you CAN buy the "humane" spanish foei gras, where they only slaughter the geese right before migration when the geese naturally force feed themselves. however the foie gras produced this way is rougher (less fatty/buttery), and of lower quality, and alot smaller AND to add insult to injury it's ALOT more expensive, mostly because it can only be farmed once a year.
the choices are there, you want humane you have to pay a massive premium and accept a loss in quality for foie gras.

Foie gras is so lovely to eat, I use this shit everywhere, on crackers, toasts, pancakes, waffles, in hamburgers, I even make some foie gras dogs, man delicious.

You're right it is a cruel food but as far as this substitute you speak of, there really is none. Have you ever eaten foie gras?, the richness, the texture, how it literally melts in your mouth like ice cream. You just can't recreate that with anything.
It is a cruelly made food but really all modern industrial agricultural foods are cruelly produced. While industrial chicken farms produce shit quality and tasting eggs, the foie gras industry creates food fit for gods.

Sure, it's good; I'm sorry to say that I ate it, back when I was clueless about what happened to the animals who suffered and died because of it. Now that I know better, I choose not to consume it, and not contribute to the cruelty. If everyone REALLY knew what horrible suffering went on to produce it, I think very few would eat it. Many choose to not believe it or close their minds to the abuse, preferring to satisfy their palates rather than their consciences.
I'm glad I'm not one of them.

I'm new to the show, what is the Ohta faction?
ninomiya 3 years ago
Ohta Faction as explained here
For a quick refresher, the Ohta faction is a group of several dozen Japanese-style chefs who are appalled that Morimoto incorporates elements of other cuisines in his neo-Japanese (also called 'fusion') style of cooking. They are doubly appalled that Chairman Kaga chose him to represent the epitome of Japanese cuisine by selecting him as Iron Chef Japanese.
Needless to say, they fought Morimoto a few times and the faction lost 3 times in a row...
gyrobotZ 3 years ago
Regardless though, Morimoto was only a notch above Koumei (the chef who replaced Michiba) and in ICA, has become a shadow of his former self with a W/L of about 55%. Morimoto needs to remember his days where he challenged a faction who questioned him and took on and won, the new Morimoto is a pathetic joke.
gyrobotZ 3 years ago 3
consider the fact that the bar has been raised, which Morimoto helped to raise, in the culinary world, partly due to the original Iron Chef. i don't think Morimoto is worse than he used to be; the competition has simply caught up to him. even Flay, i think has improved VASTLY since his first appearances in the Japanese specials. his dishes look much more complex and thought out now.

If you are not familiar with the process, you will find quite a few videos on youtube that show the horror of it.

Komei Nakamura took over when Michiba retired, but he lost so many battles that the Chairman soon replaced him with Morimoto. He wasn't around all that long.
katraena 4 years ago
He didn't lose too many battles, not like Kobe and Morimoto. He wasn't necessarily replaced either. He left on his own will. Kandagawa came and Nakamura said if he lost the match against Kandagawa that he would retire. Kandagawa won. Thus, he left. Morimoto came in. I'd say his career of 2 years is pretty long enough during the run of Iron Chef.
archo89 4 years ago
Nakamura's performance was, however, to borrow a phrase from wikipedia, "sub-par." he had a 24-11-1 win/loss/tie record, and the drama of the show is scripted anyway, I'm sure his "retirement" had at least a little to do with ratings. Now don't get me wrong, I am a huge Iron Chef fan, and I know the cooking is real, however the drama and storylines that are created, wonderfully entertaining as they are, including "Chairman" Kaga, are fictional (Takeshi Kaga is a well known actor in Japan).
katraena 4 years ago
Wikipedia, I see. While I know that the dramatic sequences are basically to put impact and excitement on the show, I'm pretty sure his retirement also had to do with pressure as well, though. Well, I saw the actual battle when I was in Japan, but sadly, I couldn't understand it because it wasn't dubbed and there were no subtitles, and also I can't speak Japanese. I just remembered that Nakamura had been in that situation.

Well, that's not the only reason IC America sucks, but it's one of them!

Sakai rules, Michiba's the wise one, Morimoto follows him, Chen is cool but I've never heard this guy..

I think i read somewhere that this new guy sucked serious balls, so they replaced him with Morimoto.

I'm not incredibly fond of Nakamura, but I also like Sakai the best. My second favorite is Ishinabe.
