Isn't animals getting chewed to death while still alive a fairly regular occurrence in the wild? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voyager Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 This is such a crock. The feeding process (gravage) takes place for 18 days and often becomes addictive rather than something the animal fears or avoids. Compare this to a dairy cow who spends her entire life pregnant or lactating, often standing knee deep in in mud and feces in crowded lots, before becoming hamburger. But the dairy industry has the fix in and animal rights people will never have he clout to attack the milk industry. Besides they've probably never seen the seedy reality of a factory dairy.

Seth Gordon Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I guess the most important question is, for three years from now, where’s the nearest shop that carries it just beyond the city limits? Jersey City? Long Island? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rozrapp Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 D’Artagnan will ship it to you. (They’re located in NJ.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Upscale California restaurants solved the problem by upping the price on auxiliary dishes and not charging for the foie gras. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Gordon Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Upscale California restaurants solved the problem by upping the price on auxiliary dishes and not charging for the foie gras. The NYC law is much stricter. It will be illegal for any restaurant or grocery to even “store or maintain” foie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Gordon Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 D’Artagnan will ship it to you. (They’re located in NJ.) Sometimes I need same-day foie, though. And the PATH is probably cheaper than shipping anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 No, now most predators have turned to sous vide. While for some here, being chewed to death is probably the lesser of the two evils. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Gordon Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Can you be sure they won't shoot you at the border? I'll take my chances. According to my calculations, The Parkway Deli of Yonkers is the single closest restaurant outside the boundaries of NYC to a subway stop, a mere nine minute walk (more like five at a typical New Yorker's pace) from the 241st St 2 train. They may want to consider adding foie to the menu, or doing a weekly foiep-up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
