Mmm…Foie Gras
I thought we, as a civilization, were going downhill. Smoking bans are spreading across the country. New York is outlawing trans fat. Chicago (and soon California) put the kibosh on foie gras. Apparently it’s cruel. (Too bad it’s oh so delicious.) But there is light at the end of the smokeless, healthy, svelte tunnel. Chicago has overturned its two-year-old foie gras ban. Does this mark a new bellwether? Does my future involve eating a plate of foie gras, followed by a doughnut fried in trans fat, and finished off with a cigarette over a cocktail? One can only hope.

foie gras is delicious? ugh. No, it tastes like feces. All livers taste like feces. Why not get a non-organ meat and spread the sh*t of the animal on it to replicate the taste. “oh so delicious?” Dude, you have no taste.
