50/50! and they could live right on the boat..
OMG - don't say that!!! Have you ever had it?? It's absolutely wonderful - I had it in Spain, and never forgot it. In fact, that's the only thing I remember about that meal- it was so good it could have been dessert!
American Indians ate a lot of lotus seeds. The roots are edible,too.
The seeds are anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, good for expanding the arteries, high in fiber and loaded with magnesium which is good for the heart and insomnia.
Not just any bird liver-diseased duck liver from forcibly overfeeding ducks and geese until they develop fatty liver disease and the liver turns very light in color from all the fat, fat which causes the liver to expand to several times its normal size, compressing their other organs.
The ducks, of course, have no idea they are getting sick any more than a teenager fed exclusively on potato chips would, since the ducks don’t live that long in the condition before being slaughtered.
Basically it tastes like a very light, very mild corny braunschweiger divinity, if there was such a thing ...and is very soft and silky, and it feels like it is melting, as your mouth warms it up.
Oh boy, Foie Gras, that will get the animal rights folks up in arms.
They couldn’t go native and have Pho?
Nevermind Cohen, this will be top story on the news, that Trump ate Foie Gras.
Secret Service has signed off on it all, one would presume?
Norks:
“What? Bird Liver!? Yuck. I thought it was fake grass! We have to eat the real stuff back home - thought this fake stuff might be better.”
That is disgusting—and sad.
