Guess what I’ll be having for dinner tonight.

(First I have to figure out what the heck Foie Gras is)

Goose or duck paté from birds force fed to grossly increase the size of their livers. The French have been making the stuff in that manner for centuries. Is it any more cruel than how chickens are commercially warehoused and slaughtered, beef cattle plied with hormones, sturgeons gutted for their eggs? I don't think so.

I just bought a frozen capon and have it thawing in the fridge for a weekend roast. Castrate a rooster and the resulting bird will grow to between the size of a chicken and turkey with better flavor than either one. I have no issues with paté or caviar even if they're not my personal things. Nor with someone choosing to personally forego the pleasure of eating meat. When they try to impose their "feelings" on me is when the trouble will start.
