Aren't you glad you just cancelled your trip to France? My question is - who had the idea to do this in the first place and how could they possibly have come up with it?

Give me Italian cooking over this nonsense any day.

Regards, Ivan

Bump!

And just what's wrong with strangled 6-week-old blood-filled duckling, eh? Eh?

[T'wit]

And here's the best part. I just love watching this and thinking about all the bacteria growing in strangled 6-week-old blood-filled duckling:

The carcass is then put in a press to extract its blood and juice, which diners can watch trickle into a chafing dish.

Heck, that's more fun than the fireworks.

I like Peking duck myself, with the crispy skin rolled in a pancake with plum sauce. Or roast duckling German style. French cooking is too rich for my blood.

[Grampa Dave]

Attention Peta freaks!

Attention Bambi and Duck lovers.

Read how barbaric the civilized French are when it comes to baby ducks only 6 weeks old.

Yes these evil and vile Frenchies stangle these baby duckies and then use terrible savage ways to serve their mangled bodies.

STOP THIS EVIL/VILE PRACTICE! CANCEL ALL VACATIONS TO FRANCE AND BOYCOTT THEIR PRODUCTS. SAVE THE BABY DUCKS!

Ivan,
The next time you are here in this country, I will cook you a wonderful Italian meal...
Bloody Duck?
Bloody sickening....

[dennisw]

All I have to say is purposely eating the blood of animals is as un-kosher as you can get. Kosher slaughter drains the blood of the dead animal. Sounds blood lusting and primitive and no way am I vegetarian.

Ya'll who want to eat blood sausage, be my guest.

Critics say world's best restaurant is French - but in California

In the U.S we have something like this.. it's called "road kill"

[LibKill]

I prefer 'Crispy Duck' as the Chinese prepare it.

This frog dish raises nausea.

[Happygal]

Well, the Irish eat blood pudding...so it's not a thought that's alien to me. And I love duck.

[prairiebreeze]

Ivan, you're scaring me with this one.

Prairie ;^D

"Claude Terail, the 85-year-old proprietor of the restaurant, used last night's celebration to hand over the business to his 22-year-old son, Andre."

Dad at 63? Obviously Claude loves his ducklings young.

Fireworks exploded over the Seine

Three army garrisons, five police stations and the Presidential Guard, promptly surrendered.

[CARDINALRULES]

I've seen this on a cooking show...sickening to say the least.

I think one of the chef's in the movie Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? was killed in this manner.

---

I have a rule....I do not eat any animal that we ever had as a pet.

[ChefKeith]

M Terail claims to have taken only five days off since he inherited the restaurant from his father in 1947.

Thank to Our brave, NOW DEAD Soldiers saving their frog A$$E$ from the nazi scumballs!

[tictoc]

Bien, M. Chirac, entrez dans la voiture, s'il vous plait, on va vous conduire à un... pressing engagement."

[christie]

Pinging the chef!

Not Hungarian, dear boy ? :-)
