NormanH Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This could put the cat among the pigeons..or ducks.The method of producing the majorityof foie gras sold in France doesn't respect European legislation....http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2011/12/14/le-foie-gras-vendu-en-france-serait-il-illegal_1618456_3224.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I don't like meat paté but I do love a good foie gras d'oie with some toast and a little glass of sauternes, if I can. And if it the production is illegal in France then surely it is in Hungary too, where I think much comes from......... then where will it come from? Maybe I'll give it a miss in the future.

pachapapa Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Goose fatty liver is less than 5% and less intensive, probably methods are more traditional and less illegal.But difficult to find out, easier to crack a mobile phones than the périgord mafia.Le foie gras de canard est très largement dominant sur le marché du foie gras : 95% du foie gras vendu provient du canard, ne laissant que 5% au foie gras d’oie… (pour découvrir les différences entre foie gras d’oie et foie gras de canard, cliquez ici).

idun Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 My friends used to get the foie and do it themselves, from the producteur, so I would hope it was the oie that they thought it was. Even if it wasn't it was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
