My ancestors clawed their way to the top of the food chain, and I intend to stay there.

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...

my personal fave? when they picketed in front of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center with big graphic signs of animal testing (none of the type that was happening inside, mind you).

and the little girls with no hair got to have their wheelchairs pushed through the picket lines to get inside. I was happy to see that they didnt stay long.

nice, eh?

You do know that the head of PETA is diabetic, right? And would be dead, but for animal research.

ooo, that's ironic.

now, if they believed as I do that "cruelty" is the causing of pain for No Good Reason (tm), that would be one thing...

its just that their idea of a Good Reason and my idea of a Good Reason are so different.
