What a great move!💚
Brazil joins India on this based side
Ethics aside, I never got the appeal of foie gras. Take liver, one of the most disgusting cuts of “meat,” but make it overwhelmingly fatty? Just, no.
The inscrutable mind of the Fr*nch, we may never know
just to be sure but liver rocks. I wish they made vegan liver. Actually you’re kind of a scrub if you eat meat but not liver
I wonder how much correlation there is between historical colonial empires and weird animal cruelty food traditions.
Most of the examples I can think of would seem to correlate to some degree.
The food culture of the ruling class etc.
They must, there is that horrible eating of baby birds or something that the french ruling class also did.
consumption of the ortolan bunting:
a vile act
Diners traditionally eat the entire cooked bird whole - bones, fat, and organs. Captured ortolans were historically kept in dark cages or had their eyes blinded so they would gorge continuously on grain and figs, doubling their body weight. The fattened bird was then drowned alive in a container of Armagnac brandy, which simultaneously marinated the meat. The bird was roasted whole in its own fat.
Diners placed a large cloth over their heads while eating. Popular folklore says this was to hide the gluttonous, sinful act from the eyes of God.
Industrialized animal ag is particularly ruthless, the alienation means incredible abuse to workers and the killed animals alike.
Well given that I didn’t know what the fuck this was (listen i’m a dirty carnist, I understand this, but fucking hell this is some shit practice), apparently force-feeding birds has been going on since at least 2500 BC, according to wikinato.
I now know what foie gras is
