LOL! the livers of free range chickens - ie critters not tortured and tormented all their lives for our gustatory pleasure - and without all the chemicals and crap pushed into battery raised chickens. They still get deaded, of course, though.
MMMMMM, Foie Gras!!,..Not trying to be disrespectful,..but I've known how they do this for a long time,..and it'll never deter me from enjoying it though. It's just too damn good!!!
I did not use the term 'mother tongue'. We eat the strangest things in Germany....
But no - no goose liver for me. I've seen too many of these pictures. I love to eat all kinds of seafood, though. It seems that fish do not suffer as cows do. Why is that?
Urs, my son tells me that fish do not have a nervous system. Speaking of tongue. Reminds me of the story of a man in a restaurant who said Yuk at a tongue sandwich. "I don't want anything that came out of a cow's mouth. Give me an egg sandwich."
Montana, I feel the same way. Looks like the Brits do as well.
I think the above story is revolting, but where do you draw the line? I was eating liver and onions one day when my wife remarked that the animals liver is the organ that processes it's urine.
That may not be strictly true, I honestly dont know, but it was enough for me to give liver a wide berth from then on.
Good morning all. I think the point of the article is that there must be other ways to produce a good pate without causing such pain to our feathered friends.
Kev, I think the liver's function is to remove all the poisons from the blood stream, at least in humans. Of course we can't just stop eating stuff just because of the fact that animals are killed.
And of course there are other ways, Letty. However, it takes longer and it costs more money... And here we go again...
I talked to Stefan about this topic. Here in our small town it is pretty easy for us to buy meat where you know where the cattle lived. And how! So if I buy meat I rather pay a bit more and go to a good local butcher shop and not the supermarket.
Well, urs, that's one big problem here in America. The supermarkets are predominant. I love salmon fillet, but I noticed that the last that I got had color added. Guess they wanted to make it look pink.
Letty, yes, I do appreciate that we still have the small stores here - at least in towns like Balingen. Fish - well that's a bit difficult here also. For that we go to Sweden...
No, I don't want to know about little baby anythings. 
I used to cry when my dad put worms on the hook to catch a fish.
