Anthony Bourdain's definition of foie gras:

The fattened liver of a goose or duck. Unfortunately, an endangered menu item with the advent of angry, twisted, humorless, anti-cruelty activists who've never had any kind of good sex or laughed heartily at a joke in their whole miserable lives and who are currently threatening and terrorizing chefs and their families to get the stuff banned. Likely to disappear from tables outside France in our lifetimes.

And now, Chicago is preparing to vote on banning its sale this month.
You think Bourdain is exaggerating? Didier Durand, the chef at Cyrano's Bistrot, spoke against the proposed ban. That night, his restaurant had a window smashed and its door smeared with fake blood.

Frickin' PETAphiles. Maybe we should use them as a foie gras source instead...
