'No ones gonna force you to eat it' - the irony..
Ahahahahaha. lol too true
Tastes delicious too
Alice Pearson did you even hear what he said after?
If you are going to use quotations you should write what he actually said.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 right!
Can we all agree that torturing ducks by force-feeding them until their organs degenerate and die is wrong? There's literally no way you can defend it. You think you have the right to eat whatever you want? No, you don't have that right. But animals? They DO have the right to NOT BE TORTURED.
I totally agree I mean who dose that. P.s PETA.
So true
As a chef i have met other chefs that strictly do not want to work with foie gras or even touch it. One did not even want to help finish the plate it was on.
AMEN
Yup
"People should be able to eat what they like and if you don't want to eat it no one is ever going to make you". *Force feeds ducks and geese*
PEOPLE should be able to eat what they like. Tigers and other animals kill animals in painful ways. They don't care. I love animals but I'm sick of these comments!
EZ Crafts Yeah but we're humans. We're more intelligent so we know what is right and wrong.
Paul Francis Goneda
So now it's wrong for animals to eat their natural prey.
+EZ Crafts the way these ducks are force fed is not a natural predatory food chain kind of killing... it's just unethical.
EZ Crafts great :) i lost interest after the "go eat your mcdonalds" line
"It's almost like a animal butter" God bless America lmao
bursssssttt....hahahhaaaaaa
I know ! haha
The fact that butter is their reference to describe an unknown delicacy is really funny !
and the fact that, you know, butter is from animals
HeyDo29 God help America
Come on guys foie gras is delicious we have to be true to ourselves
This guy is spot on, I don't want anyone imposing their morals on me, especially when it comes to food
Jeremy dear, he didn't say they were synonymous. Maybe you should read his comment again?
Yeah people don't want to eat it so they try to get it taken away from everyone... Its one person's moral to not eat something
Your profile picture says it all
***** Simple. I can explain this. The term "imposing their morals on me when it comes to food" means that the views on how creatures should be treated should not impose any restrictions on what I could and could not feed myself. That's literally what it means. Treating an animal unfairly doesn't change the fact that the food itself could be tasty and/or needed. And ones opinion on such matters should be wholly separate from the nutritious side of it.
If you need that in clearer text:
If someone thinks that it's morally wrong to milk a cow because milk is the life fluids of calf's, should they then be allowed to deny you drinking milk?
How about someone thinking it's wrong to kill ducks, because they are nice birds. Should that mean you're no longer allowed to eat ducks?
It's really not that hard.
Its obvious you don't have sny morals.
This is honestly disgusting on so many levels. Where is the consciousness in today's majority? A lot can be said about a person that does not bring harm on an innocent defenseless animal, but instead offers protection and treats the creature with respect. I truly hope that the suffering people inflict on animals will return to them tenfold. Do as you would want done to yourself.
Zoey-
Humans butcher each other, too. Plus, animals need to eat meat to survive. Humans have the capability to survive without meat or other animal-like products. But hey, if you still want to eat meat, that's totally fine. You do you. I'll do me.
Humans are animals. Literally. Animals eat animals. Get over it.
***** Many animals will kill other animals for food, yes, but it is for survival, life or death. This I understand. But people torture and eat animals for various of sick reasons, none of which have anything to do with survival. We have so many amazing foods on this planet that are easily accessible.. foods that we can thrive on and yet people still choose to kill animals.
spencecity99 As I stated above, animals in the wild kill other animals for survival. People do not NEED to eat animals for survival. People do not NEED to abuse, torture and kill animals for survival. It isn't the stone ages anymore. There is a huge difference in these things, please don't try to generalize them.
sara rahimpour I agree.
Animal butter?
Where do they think butter comes from?
leith daboss lol I thought the exact same thing
leith daboss there is butter aka margarine that isn't made from animal products :)
Carolina Seger some margarines still have some dairy in it, bc I'm allergic to dairy, I have to read carefully and most of the time is has something from dairy in it.
That's not butter.
the word "butter" used itz just an expression describing that it is almost like butter, meanwhile the word animal is just used to symbolise that it is meat or smth
Can someone explain how they humanely inflame the ducks liver? Like not judging just really want to know what the humane way to make fois gras is
there is none.
Ducks and geese naturally fatten their liver as they eat summertime forage to store energy in preparation for autumn and winter. They store their energy in their liver mostly instead of in the skin or subcutaneous fat like other species. And also that's the reason we can't have cow/ pig/ sheep/ chicken foie gras.
That's true, to a certain extent, yes they do have a mechanism of resource gathering in their liver, but this is plain abuse, this animals once they get to the "desired" state are in terminal liver failure...
+pablo martinez Yea, but then they are killed. If you think about it, everyone of them was terminal anyways.
***** Ok, now google corn fed beef steak vs grass fed beef steak. Virtually all meat animals are fattened with a high calorie diet before being slaughtered. The difference is that geese store most of their fat in their liver, and for some reason people decry that as abuse because...organs are scary and gross??? *shrug*
I would pay whatever to push down a tube into the chiefs throat until he gags up his own blood then ask him to say that again; people should not tell you what you can or can not eat. Ok maybe that's a bit cruel...but at least that would put things into perspective!
if you actually watched the video you would've heard that that chef gets his from a cruelty free place where they get to roam free and aren't tortured
Mckenna Kayla Oh please read my comment properly will you. He said he still didn't approve of the previous ban because u cant tell people what they can or can not eat. I didnt say they use those methods there. I watched the video thank u very much. God, some people...
Mckenna Kayla I think he's referring to the act of shoving a tube down their throat and force feeding them so much grains their livers become engorged and sometimes burst. I think "roaming free" is the least of the issues...
Why should anyone have any say in what you choose to eat? If you dont want it, dont fucking eat it. End of story
Jenna Whittenburg Are you on your period?
~ ~ *TL;DR for those of you browsing the comments section* ~ ~
People who didn't watch the video:
"Foie Gras is cruel! They force feed ducks with a tube! You monsters!"
People who watched the video reply:
"If you watched the video, you would know that the ducks here were raised humanely."
Offended vegetarians and vegans reply:
"'Humanely,' bullshit! I judge every single person who eats duck livers. Even if chickens and cows are raised the same way or worse. So yeah, I guess I judge every single person who eats meat ever!"
Dietitians, nutritionists, and feel-good pseudoscientists:
"Digestion! Evolution! My education is better than your education!"
Normal people:
"I don't know about you, but I thought it looked pretty damn tasty."
So true though... Actually haven't seen a dietician.
Were these coppy and pasted from all the other comment on buzzfeed. Everything results in a flame war vid:people try school lunch.comments: ALL ANERICANS ARE FAT IDIOTS AND THEy fEAR FOR LIF AT SCHoOL AAHhhHhdhgfdklgfmdkskdktk fk u MERIKA!
Good job buzzfeed
I actually really wanted to eat some of it thought it looked so good and idgaf what the vegans and vegetarians think! xD
Halle Kyne Oh, they're there... You just need to hit that Show Comments button and scroll for a little while. All the self-proclaimed dietitians and nutritionists.
okashi10 Ahh... I see now. XD Yeesh, they be harsh
"To eat meat... you have to not think about how it's prepared that much."
Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night, pal. Although personally, speaking as a meat lover myself I think that's an intensely cowardly attitude to take.
+Sir Broadsword same, I think acknowledging some of the things that go on is a good way to respect the food more. like "thanks for dying for tis delicious piece of bacon"
matt atherton This exactly. Narrow-minded veggies go on about how nobody would ever eat meat again if they knew what was really involved in its preparation, but I know full well and I still love meat, so clearly that blanket generalization isn't true for me!
+Sir Broadsword Precisely. I like to know what I'm eating and I like to know that the animal's had a good life before its death.
+Sir Broadsword that makes you a selfish coward too, eating something you know was alive and had feelings and had to die painfully to be on your plate?... pfff sickening.
Pandora First of all: Plants are alive too. If you want to live, you're going to have to kill something else.
Second: Humans are designed to eat meat and the severe difficulty of maintaining a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet demonstrates this.
Thirdly: Western slaughtering standards are designed to minimize suffering, I am vehemently opposed to halal and other such barbaric practices, and I buy free-range where possible. Animals that lived a good and wholesome life produce better meat anyway.
It's really annoying when people are supposed to be tasting something and all they do is talk. 😒 shut up and taste the food man. Then tell me how it was after.
So they were just guessing at the taste and those chewing motions they were making with food in their mouths was fake?
kabob21 😒 sure why not
Raymond no but your mother is
stop watching review videos jesus
Kalpana Or you could just keep scrolling.
Foie Gras is love, Foie Gras is life.

Souvent les vidéos faites par des américains sont super stereotypee, il pensent que les français c´est des gens avec une bouteille de vin et un baguette avec une marinière et un béret ! 😂
Now show us the reaction of them watching the geese being force fed.
+MrHow2fail yup, we need it
That's true, they never said nothing bout how they feed them, only how they let them roam free.
They do they killed a bird
PancakeVsWaffle Lol, I'm no vegan, I just have respect for animals and they way they are treated.
MrHow2fail oh, then your a hippie because you clearly respect animals more than humans, because you want their minds ruined (by watching geese force fed), for the sake of animals rights.
Glad it's "humane" fois gras
hahahaha
Atleast the duck had some sorta decent life
I know how the "regular" foie gras is made, by force feeding ducks and other horrible stuff, so how did they make it "humanely"? Was it actually "humane"?
@@aimeecortez5899 No. There is literally no such thing as ethical foie gras. This "chef" is a clown.
I've eaten foie gras my whole life, when I was a child (3-5yo) I used to REALLY LOVE foie gras, we ate foie gras when my mom wasn't in the mood to cook something, but also on special occassions like New year's eve.
I just found out recently how it was made, why it was controversial, but Idk, it's something that is so "normal" to me.. I'm french btw.
You're used to eating it but it's awful how it's made. Nothing "normal" about it.
.:J.M.Concept:. if you are omnivore I can assure you that Foie Gras is not the worst meal you have on your dish... But that not a real excuse to not complain.
Baltazar Melkior I don't eat Foie Gras, Pig, Veal. Or anything killed in a rough way. (And no it's not for religious purposes). And i'm thinking about being vegetarian.
.:J.M.Concept:. it's the only way to stop this industrie or to make them change their mind.
In fact there isn't industrie that doesn't kill animals in a rough way, even for fish it's horrible. There is maybe Norway that use great park where they breed deer and then kill them with rifle in one clean shot. In that way the animal live it's life peacefully and die with no stress.
Baltazar Melkior There are alot of less painless ways to kill animals but many people are so lazy to they make the animals have awful lives and give them medicine to be at and torture them to death. Especially in America.
I prefer Mardi Gras.
How long until this is a top comment.
Huehuehu
OH the irony of him saying "No one is going to FORCE you to eat it"
That's not irony at all.
@@noway6633 it’s ironic because force feeding ducks is how they make the foie grae lol
@@ultimatedrago4909 That’s how it’s sometimes made, not always.
@@gabrielstf800 the chef literally said that his foie gras is made from his own ducks that run in the wild and live their best life. And that actually makes it more delicious than the force-fed one, because the healthy and happy duck’s liver is tastier than a diseased tortured terrified goose’s one (I didn’t eat foie gras, but I did read about it and I believe that the part about the bird’s health makes sense)
@@gabrielstf800 tell that to the chef 0:39
Also its still premium-quality duck/goose liver, so I don't see a problem
When it comes to the humane treatment of anything living, I think the most important aspect is dignity. While many find the abuse of animals to be inhumane (to which I agree), the point can be taken too far where all things that are living should not be considered a food source. Life comes from death. While some struggle with this concept, it will always be true. No living thing should be treated inhumanely, but we should also pay respect to the things that we consume. We should take pleasure in the things we eat. We have a biological predisposition to enjoy certain things. I find it counter intuitive to say that there is no humane way to consume animals. It is natural for us to do so, and if done in a humane way, there should be no reason for us to not enjoy it.
Keenan McCleary rightly said. And what we eat depends on our cultural perspective. Check out the binary opposites concept of Claude Levi Strauss.
Totally rigth
just because it might be natural to do so doesnt mean its right
willgold it's food
itachi hibachi it's food to you , do you even realise the cruelty that goes into it. You need to do your research before trying to justify animals being forced fed
My god, watching that duck be force fed was terribly disturbing.
we do that to humans to activist on hunger strike etc. lovely world
Singh-Is-King-94 😢
Olbohn you know ducks dont have gag reflexes so its just like something sliding down your throat
weirdly , i find the fact that people eat raw fat more disgusting
+Scheherazade so do people in America and Latin America and the Middle East and Asian countries. Actually all continents
This is actually a bit disingenuous, the shot of the free range geese just waddling around when the chef is denouncing how it's made in France and explaining that the foie gras he buys is much more humane. You will never achieve foie gras from a free range bird, never. All foie gras are obese livers. True, the conditions the birds are in is MUCH more humane than it is in France, but they still get force fed around three times a day. Without force feeding there simply is no foie gras. Zagat actually has a much better video on the topic discussing the lifting of the ban and an unbiased none dramatic Peta-filtered video of a foie gras farm where you see the conditions are not horrible by any stretch of the imagination, and see how the force feeding is done from the perspective of both the farm and a veterinarian.
Foie gras can be and is produced without force feeding. Basically, the geese or ducks (even some domestic varieties) have a natural instinct to gorge themselves in anticipation of migration and the farmer slaughters the geese after they have gorged themselves. The force feeding basically turns a seasonal product into a year-round economy-of-scale product.
Gatica anyway he wasn't criticising how it's made in France he was talking about the way it's made in turkey and hungary
people should eat what they like. E.g. Tokyo ghoul
Animals too, so if one animal wants to eat u, why not? She wants you to eat. 😒
Absolutely, do you want to try and convince zoos to make lions and tigers vegetarians?
***** hahahaha nvm lol
Cumpassion Turan oh my😆
L.A. Baker people do and they don’t have a continence!
I like that he said "ducks" and then they showed us clips of geese.
Poor ducks and geese
Poor vegetarian, not knowing what a mouth orgasm feels like. :(

"If you don't want to eat it, no one's ever gonna make you do it."
What about those birds that were literally force-fed to fatten their livers?
they are not people
Doesn't mean it's still okay just because they aren't "people".
Did you watch the video...
PJ MasterDiddy Is this the only Foie gras video you've ever seen? The only way to make a duck that fat, is by force-feeding it.
Therai Zephyr damn, that is a good argument..
The first appearance of the foie gras in history appeared in ancient Egypte (So at least 4500 years ago), it was also produce later on in Greece and Rome. It was imported in france after the conquest of Gaul by the romans. It become popular specially in the southern (and more latinize), part of Gaul. And foie in french come from the word ficatum in latin wich is a derivate of figus (fig).
The more you know.
"People should be able to eat what they like, and if you don't want to eat it no one is ever going to make you do it."
You know, unless you're the duck. In which case you are going to be made to eat. Which is the whole problem with foie gras.
Also, you'll note that when he talked about where they get the foie gras, he said that the bad places nail the ducks down and force feed them, whereas his place lets them roam free. He never said they didn't also force feed them.
If humans were food to some species with even higher intellect than humans, i wonder what kind of delicacy we would be to them? :D
+Gunbardo Soylent green.
I hear people taste like pork. Also a lot of cannable tribes consider the brain to be the tastiest part. Human brain sandwich anyone. On another not it would be extremely foolish to come to an *alien* world and consume anything without thorough testing. We get sick just going to other countries and eating. Now unless the aleins are starving there is very little reason for them to even test if humans are edible. It be easier to harvest one of the other creatures here.
+Mia Patterson Kuru!
Just remember, if you dont have heat to cook the meat, eat the eye and dont die.
You can eat human/animal eyes raw. Mmm, cornea!
Johnny Parsnips Damn.
for vegans : if u think that killing animal and then eating it is cruel, actually, vegetables that u eat are crying too when you cut them and eat them. u might not being cruel to animals, but you are to vegetables. everything is cruel. stop saying non-vegans are cruel. everyone is cruel
Not all vegans are like that. So please instead of putting 'for vegans' put 'for certain vegans out there'. Some vegans/vegetarians are vegans/vegetarians because the taste of meat or eating a dead body is repulsing to them. It's not always because of animal cruelty.
+dindaaulle Plants don't have a central nervous system you fucking moron.
+Richard Rossington they do have it, because they are living creatures. moron
dindaaulle Do you even know what a central nervous system is?
+Richard Rossington actually, studies show that plants do feel pain. its not the same way, but if you burn them, cut them, etc, there are chemical responses telling the plant they got cut, which is basically pain.
POOR DUCKS...
I understand why you think so but geese a d ducks dont actually have a gag reflex, therefore the force feed does not actually harm them. Also, force feeding is just the accelerated process the geese go through before migrating. They would eat lots of food over a 2-3 month period of time and when they migrated, would only stop to drink water. So overall, if the geese get to run around or are in big open spaces with room to spread their wings the only "cruel" part would be the slaughter.
+Berengere Fouqueray Nailed to the ground in cages and stuffed food through their necks. Yeah the slaughter is defiantly worse.😒
Actually, it al depends on where you buy your foie gras from. Where I come from in France there is a law that means the ducks and geese must be raised, force fed, slaughtered and turned into the final product in that same region. If you buy industrial foie gras then of course the ducks will be in horrible conditions (geese are not used in industries as they are too expensive and the flesh is too fragile to work with) So if you buy your foie gras from a good quality shop where you know they made it themselves and the geese and ducks were in good conditions, the process is not that bad. If you buy foie gras that has been made in a mass production environment then there is a very high chance the animals will have been mistreated
Ikr yeah there wild but they need to live too and it's to cruel that you stuck a tube down there throat and they move and its painful it's not a quick death. How would you people have a tube down your throat and not breath and nobody can help you like for real what became of cruelness
+Berengere Fouqueray your so wrong the wild ducks are put into cages and the people that kill them put tubes into there throats with food and they die and it's not a quick death it's a painful death
"It's both salty AND sweet!" Great contribution champ.
He also said “when it’s cooked, it’s less creamy!” and “it’s like it has Rice Krispies!”. Genius.
Animals get tubes shoved down their throats to make this stuff...
You didn't watch the video.
Git gud
Skrub
Then dont fucking eat it
Should actually watch the video before commenting.
well not the foie gras they're serving at that restaurant but in others places like said in the video yes and its disgusting and horrible.
Skye Skye Wait, what? I don't think you guys understand how they're getting this stuff...
"No one is going to make you eat something you don't want to" Uh huh....tell that to the duck!!!
+Hippyanon Why would he tell the duck that? does it speak english? and which duck are you referring to?
+The Elephantines The ducks are forced fed and then killed. So the point of Hippyanon is that if the Chef really believes we should force ways of eating on others then he should not force feed ducks, but rather let the ducks choose what the want to eat
Yeah ducks don't count apparently cos speciesism.
Cruelty Free Did you see my sarcasm fly over you? Cause I did.
@Adan Martinez
Then go vegan .
this is horrible, how dare you support this
Sorry they didn't have a trigger warning for you. Better call a therapist.
Also, you supported them by watching the video. Lol
Natalie Haddad why?
They already stated that where they get their Foie Gras from isn't done in a cruel manner.
Say NO to Foie Gras.
braindead.
say YES to it because it is incredibly delicious with bread
*****
if you can find it you can have it any time.you would be hard pressed though because i'm a guy.
SAY NO TO FOOD! PLANT AND ANIMAL LIVES MATTER!!!
John Adams Black lives don't.
Just a correction here: This Chef is ignorant and wrong. I am not sure about Hungary but the production and consumption of Foie Gras is outlawed in Turkey. Duck and Goose are not even consumed in Turkey those meats don't have a place in the national cuisine.
just because something is illegal doesn't stop people from doing it, he could be talking about illegal underground duck farms
Shithole of a country you have there.
"If you don't wanna eat it no-one's ever gonna make you do it."
Try saying that the force-fed geese yo
***** but I don't eat meat **busted**
***** I know haha, it's just the disconnect between animal and food in this video I found particularly sour tasting
Animals are food though 😐 just because YOU don't eat meat, doesn't mean that I can't because you want me to. Meat tastes pretty good for most people. You go ahead and not eat meat. But realize that for a lot of meat eaters, giving animals human characteristics won't stop them from eating meat. I love animals, and I also eat them. And you know what, that's ok.
Julia Easter How can you love animals and pay for them to be slaughtered and mutilated?
Alma Riddell because they're delicious.
Problem with the last thing Ned said: if you have to not think about how it's made just to eat it, why eat it? If you have to steel yourself against the cruelty, just to put it into your face, what makes you think it's the right thing to do?
We humans collect our food in cruel ways if you look at it from the point of view of any animal being summarily murdered to become our food. Nobody says it's the right thing to do. It's just the way we do it today, and we are all (Mostly) Complicit. I Doubt that Lions in the serengeti have these qualms when they rip open their prey to survive though. We have a much more streamlined process of providing ourselves with food. This has also enabled us to put rules in place to make the killing of our Prey much more Numb for them
"This is like animal butter"...as in just like where butter comes from?? jfc
they think butter comes from a plant
Thee Adjudicator meaning it tastes like a animal does butter taste like animals lol 😂😂😂
Thee Adjudicator I can't tell uf you're a troll or just special
+Daniel White butter comes from milk. Guess where milk comes from? Animals. Wow. Mind blowing.
funny how he mentioned that the ducks run free yet he did not specify how their livers are fattened for this "humane" foie gras :)
Wasn't really the focus of the video. He just had to do a disclaimer.
E BL because most people (clearly not you) are smart enough to research it if they want but the point of the video was people trying the food not protesting animal rights
they did mention the animal right aspect in the video though or else I wouldn't have commented on it because I'm really not the type to protest on mainstream videos unless they mention the issue :/
E BL i really don't care about what type you are
then don't reply to my comments :)
My heart died when they showed the footage of shoving a pipe down the ducks throat...
to be realistic, ducks and geese neither have a swallow or gag reflex nor a strong stomach sphincter like humans. Their whole upper digestive system is pretty much just a wide open tube Form mouth to stomach. Thats why the swallow by laying their head in their neck. So a lubed up tube down their throat is usually not more than a minor irritation, if any.
Rumplelumpa Snickerdoodles that makes me feel like...1% better xD
It made me feel so ill
***** why u gotta be so rude damn
***** hahahaha
has anyone noticed how buzzfeed is somehow sponsored by the american food industry , this is also evident on the buzzfeed recipe videos , where 90% of the time theres cheese , bacon , sausage , butter or some processed food as a "starter" ingredient ....
Would you ever trie foie gras?
Can you explain how the meadow geese get the fatty creamy livers if they're treated so nicely?
No, but I'd like to try this cook's liver, therefore I should be able to. Right?
You misspelled try
I have enjoyed foie gras several times, my favorite was foie gras profiteroles at Le Pigeon in Portland, Or.
***** Geese go through a natural time of gorging on food to prepare for winter/flying. They will feed themselves.
"People should be able to eat what they like"
Malayan tiger anyone? It's really tasty.
I hear that disingenuous chef liver is really good on toast.
Barriers416 well u can always eat an aborted baby, hopefully after they hold the mandatory funeral for it.
Dont eat endangered species coz we want their population back so we can eat more of them.
Chee Yong Tan 笑死我
All look at all the triggered babies
If the argument for Foie is that people should eat what they want without being judged, then what's the argument against shark, whale and dolphin fishing? People around the world call that cruel, but forcefeeding a duck to the point of terminal liver failure.... That's totally ok?
the difference is that killing and eating of sharks, whales, and dolphins is unsustainable and bad for the ecosystem while ducks are farm raised and are thus sustainable. your empathy for animals is totally subjective and is irrelevant to some, while degradation of the environment is a pressing issue that needs legal action.
+awsome2031 so as long as it is sustainable we get to torture animals? it's only bad if we are running out of them?
pablo martinez the point of that is that they're hunting the species to extinction not the cruelty.
pablo martinez you know thats hust meat right?
Shark fin has absolutely no flavour though so it is pointless. They flavour it with chicken stock, it's a status symbol in China while fois gras is delicious.
Random American:
"OHMAGAD THIS IS HORRIBLE"

guesss who's the vegan here
Yeah seriously, the average fast food/supermarket chicken is literally pumped full of antibiotics so that it doesn't rot alive and they complain about animals raised outside that get to eat too much

I'm not a chainsaw wielding type of vegan but wish people were educated about where their food comes through.
+Alor Dauhpine Was thinking the same thing all through this video. I'm not a vegan, and I really enjoy meat, but I'm not going to eat something that I know involves a lot of cruelty to produce. Foie gras and veal are off the menu for me.
+Alor Dauhpine you sir, are a wise vegan. (I hope I wrote it correctly :P)
Thank you
+Jerky Bogis Um, zoologist here. Geese don't hibernate. They migrate south to warmer climes for the winter for food.
Nessa Fitzgerald IT's not the hibernation I was pointing out. It's the fact that geese, like most avians, are able to store extremely vast quantities of fat in their liver for migratory trips and periods of scarce food. A goose in the wild will not reject food if it finds food in excess.

wow im kind of tempted to try it, i live 15 minutes away from that place and never knew it was a restaurant. i always thought it was a bar
Too much wine bottles XD>>>stereotype.
***** thanks but I already perfectly know how it works. By the way the method use in the video is a little bit different due to free range. However the gavage is still the same for the moment.
Try at least once. It is pretty delicious.
Don't eat it that stuff. It doesn't matter if they are free range animals. To make it taste good they have to force feed the animals no matter what.
LeafBottom No they do not, they just eat food that is higher in fat to make them gain weight
My sister was watching a Barbie movie and there was this rich guy who was into Foie Gras and I was thinking "Wow must be some cool fancy desert." Little did I know.
Haha that middle guy is really funny. I love how he keeps looking into the camera like The Office.
I've never wanted to hug a duck before, but omg! Duck cuddles :(
The first two they were eating was pate out of foie gras and the last two was an actual fried fat duck/goose liver (or foie gras), that is why the consistency is different! And you cannot actually fry pate one, cause it will felt.
I support everything delicious, no matter where it comes from
You're smart.
Mr. Jeffery Dahmer enjoyed human liver very much.
forgive me for being some ~extreme~ vegan, but I think it is very irrational to encourage people supporting an industry that inflicts cruelty to *not* think about their actions and how it affects sentient beings.
Yes, shame on Buzzfeed!
+Brittany Davila I respect your point of view and your choices, but humans are made to eat meat.We are omnivores by design, and while I believe the initial idea of farming animals for food was a clever and significant part of our survival as a species, I do agree that the industry has taken things too far. The level of cruelty is well above excessive, but unfortunately with a constantly growing population of omnivores the food industry feels pressured to keep pumping out animal related products like crazy. I don't think it is a problem that can realistically ever be solved for the demand on it. So I say let them eat. We're killing the planet and endangering species at a disgusting rate anyways. In another thousand years, likely less, the planet will basically be dead anyways. Mankind was the worst thing to ever happen to the earth.
I think you should do more research on being omnivorous. We can eat meat but it is very very bad for our bodies. And yes, a lot of things in certain situations are critical for survival - even cannibalism! But that is not a legitimate argument to continue doing so. Not everyone can be vegan but most of the first world population can, and they will be healthier for it. I am not nearly as fatalist as you, I will do everything in my power to not cause more destruction to the planet.
+Brittany Davila The vegetables you eat are at the expense of thousands of sentient bugs being killed by pesticides. Just... think about that.
i SWEAR TO GOD there are literally a total of a dozen arguments i hear and all of them totally miss the point of veganism.
I thought folks would be disgusted but they chowed it down and practically asked for more. Poor ducks.
It's delicious
There's a REASON people go through the trouble of force feeding ducks to make foie gras(!)
Is there anywhere we can see the production of froi gras for this restaurant? I liked that the ducks are free range, but I was once told that the ducks livers had to be full of fat deposits from over eating to be considered frois gras and I dont know how free range ducks could archieve that. I would love to see a video on their farm :)
Probably adding thc to the food they eat to give em munchies 😆😆
They naturally fatten themselves for winter originally once a year.!

Les hypocrites qui blâment le foie gras mais consomment, l'esprit léger, tout autres animaux qui ont autant souffert...
+Santiago Muñez Sans vouloir prendre la défense des hypocrites, la conception du foie gras est particulièrement horrible. Ma tante en fait du maison, et même maison c'est horrible à regarder, alors imagine les conditions industrielles, regarde des docus dessus sur internet tu verras que même dans l'industrie animale c'est vraiment pas super cool. Après chacun fait ce qu'il veut, tant qu'il n'impose pas sa vision aux autres :)
+Silverbullet Quand tu vois les fermes Américaines avec du bétail en chaîne qui n'ont jamais vu la lumière du jour entassé et broyé pour l'aggro alimentaire et les fast food, je pense que c'est plutôt hypocrite de leurs pars, ils ont rien à dire n'y a juger les coutumes alimentaires des autres pays sans revoir eux même leurs façons de faire x) après je suis d'accord avec toi. Juste que je trouve qu'ils sont les derniers qui peuvent juger les autres sur les façons de produire et manger, et de loin.....
je ne sais pas (from Canada lol still learning)
+Santiago Muñez dans l'industrie du foie gras il y a élevage en batterie + gavage ce qui provoque bien plus de souffrance que l'élevage en batterie à lui seul. Tous les ans en France (premier producteur mondial de foie gras), 1 million de canards succombent au gavage dans leur cage, avant même d'être envoyés à l'abattoir.
+Santiago Muñez certains ne sont pas hypocrytes, certains sont véganes :)
As a french, I must say, If you ever try foie gras in your life, get the top quality ( like the chef said ), bad foie gras feels wrong, good foie gras is heaven in your mouth.
And explain what is your "good foie gras" please
Tha Botmon
theres quality labels, and its expensive, it taste good, its produced in good farms like the one that is depicted above
+much wow I want me some of that Foie Gras in which you speak of, sounds tasty.
"bad foie gras feels wrong, "
All foie gras should feel wrong. If you don't agree, you just might be a bit of a psychopath.
It is a super food in a sense that it is saturated to please our senses, just like sugar cakes.
We evolved to appreciate fat and sugar, but it is not doing anything good for us these days.
You know...either become a vegetarian, or stop acting like you want to just 'forget' about how meat is produced. I only eat meat that I kill. Why? It has no preservatives, I know it's higher in protein and vitamins, I cut it myself however I want (cheap), and you feel a lot more accomplished when you do something for yourself.
Ok ok but instead of doing all that and felling accomplished which takes about 3-4 hours you could go you Wal-Mart and get it in 10 minutes
GoldenCrusade Kill I'll put it to you like this... it's 17 dollars for a deer tag. 1 deer is sometimes 150 or more pounds of meat. This is premium high quality meat that costs 70 dollars for a steak in a fancy restaurant.
Chr0maticAttack I have no problem with hunting as long as the animal is used to the best extent of the hunters knowledge, I.E. meat, fur, bones etc. That being said, I know how my grocery store meat comes to be on my plate. I do not agree with some farming methods, but not all farms are cruel. I fully accept all that occurs with my meat eating.
Biohazard Ahead Cool and all, but you act like I was talking to you lol. If you have no problem, then it's all good.
No I did not think you were talking to me, just stating my opinion, but I do agree with you.
I died at "Snap, Crackle, Foie."
I agree that people should be able to eat what they want, but foie gras is produced in an especially gruesome way, so it makes sense that it was banned imo. If you're interested in the topic of cruelty-free foie gras at all, look up Dan Barbers TED talk "the Foie Gras Parable". It's very eye opening.
TheActualAsia not all foie gras is produced in gruesome conditions . Also I'm pretty sure it's only banned in the US and a few countries .
Foie isn't necessarily cruel, even the gavage method of force-feeding isn't that bad when you take into account the duck's anatomy. Waterfowl evolved to swallow fish whole, and the fish are flapping and writhing the whole way down, so their esophagi are naturally tough and resilient to endure this. A metal tube being slid down a duck's throat (by a trained foie farmer) doesn't cause any more distress than they would experience out in the wild.
The big problems with the anti-foie arguments are that 1) they exercise a misplaced empathy towards ducks, assuming that because humans would experience pain and distress from gavage feeding, waterfowl must also experience it, and 2) the cruel factory farms with horrible conditions they DO show aren't necessarily unique to foie, and can in fact be true of poorly-regulated meat industries in general.
Steven 유럽 은 똥 Uh, okay? Please note I said "properly trained foie farmers" wouldn't cause any more distress to a duck than they would experience out in the wild during gavage feeding.
I mean obviously there are foie farms out there that horribly mistreat their animals, but that is true about the meat industry in general: there are good farms, and there are bad farms. There's nothing *inherently* worse about gavage.
That's my issue: People see gavage as uniquely and inherently horrible, when physiologically speaking this just isn't necessarily the case. I don't see why foie gras farming should be uniquely targeted as abhorrent when the entire meat industry is itself cruel.
TheActualAsia ya like weed !! ;-) control the manufacturing and its a pure pleasure!
agreed, a lot of people project human anatomy and how we have extreme gag reflexes and would choke if we got a tube in our throat. it's weird how they don't take time to understand how this really works.
Foie gras does not always mean force-feeding, it can be obtained naturally from geese once a year when they prepare for migration. Geese have a natural habit of overeating during this period, hence developing a very fatty liver. By allowing the geese to be free-range and providing ample amount of food for them to forage, farmers can create the optimal environment where geese would exhibit this behaviour.
This TEDtalk explains it very well: www.ted.com/talks/dan_barber_s_surprising_foie_gras_parable?language=en
As to whether this is the type of foie gras in the video, I don't know.
+Andrea .Wong
I don't think that will be a significant part of the global foie gras production though.
That's certainly true. Most people these days, however, aren't willing to pay the much higher price that comes with free-ranged birds. They rather close their eyes and ears to the torture their 6,99 goose was going through or the plenty of meds in the liver of a force-fed bird, including tranquilisers. Bon Appetit. :P
The chef says that their foie gras is from free range geese.
False
@@lainecohen964 rubbish
"No ones ever going to make you do it." Me- " except buzz feed!"
Next you are going try Shark Fin Soup and fall in love with it !
My take on foie gras is basically, that, like any other meat you should do your best to find humanely raised meat, and, if you're really against animal cruelty you shouldn't eat meat. But, if you're like me, and love food and cooking too much to give it up, than don't go pretending that you're super righteous about only eating super humane and sustainable meat, whichever you put it, you're killing animals in order for your happiness and nutrition, and if you can't live with that fact, that you don't deserve to eat meat. Also, whatever you choose, everyone has a right to chose on their own as well. (Including kids btw) While you may think you're right and everyone else is wrong, surprise! that's the natural human reaction. (and still doesn't give you permission to lorde your choices over everyone else)
This vegetarian agrees 👍 however there's just no excuses for things like veal, Forse feeding and chippings legs off a live octopus
There's no way to do this humanely.
Listen, the nature gave us animals to eat and use for work. As long as you treat the animal with respect and kill it humanely, there is nothing wrong with that but killing it inhumanely isn't good cause you're making the animal suffer. Kill it in one piece and enjoy. You don't need to make it suffer unnecessarily for a delicacy. Try to think the suffering that the animal had to go through. I'm just sharing my thought about foie gras, nothing else.
There is no way to do it without the animal suffering.
@@silviaferia2947 which part is suffering for the animal? Their eating as much as they want when they want? A quick and painless death? You should actually watch videos before commenting on them.

So people wanted to ban foie gras because it's cruel, but continue to consume animal products? I don't understand banning one type of murder but other types of murder is perfectly okay???
For animal products such as meat, animals are to be taken care of properly and to have a painless death. Shoving a tube down an animals throat and force feeding it is cruel
A painless death lol, if I killed someone painlessly is it still murder? of course it is. As I said murder is murder there is no ethical way educate yourself and watch earthlings and stop spreading ignorance
Daniel Orefuwa Do not confuse what it should be and what is done. Also tube use doesn't hurt animal and there is new method of gavage. I think it's worst to live un one square meter all its life, to be feed day by day, to have the bec cut (in order to prevent poultry to hurt each other), to see their similar eaten by its neighbor because it don't feel good (pig breed). No I can assure you that every meat you eat, the animal has suffer...
Animals and people have different morals. Murdering a person is worse than murdering an animal (while they are both bad). it also depends on what kind of murder it is. Most people who raise animals for food want to kill the animal quickly and painlessly in seconds while a human murder could slowly stab a person to death over the span of minutes or hours Animals main thoughts are eat, reproduce. Animals that are allowed to feed in open spaces sometimes have better lives than those in the wild because they always have something to eat and they don't have another wild animal brutally ripping the animal to shreds
It's hypocrisy. People will only defend what they see. But as long as they don't have to step foot in a slaughter house and face facts, it's perfectly fine. If people had to look in the eyes of every animal they ate, most people would be vegetarians..
I live in Canada and have had Foie Gras a lot. Love it.
this guy just said it is such a cruel how others force feed the duck/goose but still end up killing them LMAO. whats the difference
I'm sorry to ask this and I can't stress this enough that this is not in a descending tone. In a perfect world, what would or should we consume to satisfy our daily needs? Other than plant based foods
if you could choose between beinc shot in the back of the head without a warning, and being tortured on a daily basis for weeks before being shot in the head without a warning what would xou choose? do you think theres a difference?
@Santo Samuel Surja there isnt anything but plant based food and meat. but meat used to be a luxury, 100 years ago you had meat like once a week. the fact that people nowadays act as if NOT eating meat for every course every single day is unreasonable, just shows how spoiled we have become. Eating meat was natural back when it was a nececarry source of food to survive, but we have created an enviornment where we no longer have to struggle to survive. our current meat industry is destroying our planet and wasting ridiculous amounts of resources, simply because people act as if being able to buy a hamburger for 1 dollar at mcdonalds is a human right. its not, its a priviledge and not nececarry in anyway. if we could just stop eating as much meat, that would already change alot. half the world is starving, while we feed over half of all our agricultural produce to animals.
I really want to try this!!
Foie gras is no more cruel than eating cows, fish, chickens, or pigs.
The worst is fish. They die asphyxiate, dehydrate and smash in the bottom of a net by its similar.
true...
U chop a fish head off then it's done. This is slow torture
Im not a vegan, nor a vegetarian, but what the meat industry does to animals is freakin cruel.
it's their purpose in this universe.
If you research, you will find a huge disparity between traditional European food practices-and todays treatment of animals. As we learn we do better. The burden has always been on the consumer to buy sustainable and cruelty free foods. Animals are for eating, however, cruelty is neither condoned, nor necessary to eat meat humanely. Just as Hunting is a good and necessary practice to keep animals healthy in the wild. If anyone is against eating animals, they have that absolute right; but I have the absolute right to eat humanely raised, grass fed and sustainable meat. We absolutely should focus on raising ethical, organic, cruelty free and chemically free foods of any kind. ☺️ Most cruel practices in food raising are outside the United States, by the way. Just as terrible hunting practices are outside the United States. Our industrial food chain is poor, and we need to do better. That starts with people who consume food buying from local markets, farms and ranches where the raising of animals and vegetables and fruits are done with care and ethics. If we all joined in that practice and harvested managed hunting grounds, contributed to conservation( which American Hunters contribute the most $ to) we would all greatly benefit. Vegans, Vegetarians, Omnivores and Pescatarians alike.
FreedomFighter yes, we know.
No one cares

There's no way to kill an animal "humanely."
believe me, when the vet told me how the cancer my dog had no cure I assure you it was humane.
+Lukkasilver so true
the best way to do it is to do it in a way the animal doesnt realize it just died. you dont slice a cows throat and let it bleed out, most places here in the US put a bolt in the brain.
yeah but in the meat industry humane killing is slitting throats and gassing them alive with CO2. If you watch the videos it does not look humane....

Jennifer Lipinski Or vegetarian, i'm not english i can mix words, but thx to be judgmental on a little detail :)
That's true. People can be hypocrites. But it just goes to show, when you actually SEE the life of an animal before it's on your plate, before it's slaughtered, most people will recognize that it's wrong and will want no part of it. But then they'll have a burger for dinner because they don't have to face what it was before. They don't want to know because they can't handle it. And sure there are still people that have no problem killing an animal, but that percentile is fairly small.
" Like the rest of the meat you eat was produced in a less cruel way... "
Yeah that's because it was.

Hungary and Turkey are two countries that especially do NOT force feed the animals. I think the guy was mixing it up with France.
Nope. Both countries produce cheaper foie gras, and the only way of producing it is through force feeding birds. Two thirds of foie gras consumed in France come from Hungary.
I don't see the cruel side. these ducks are allowed to roam free (already 100x better than what most 'farm' animals get), are free from disease and fear, yes they are force fed but ducks have no gag reflex so it really doesn't hurt them. also a fatty liver doesn't hurt them. alcoholics get fatty liver and you never hear them say "oh my god my liver pain is unbearable"
I'm a chef and I have to deal with foie all the time when I was working at this French restaurant. It's really good but I still think it's not worth the cruelty. Its the worst, as much as you want to compare it with the way they feed and raise other meats. ITS NOT THE SAME. No regular farm duck will ever get its liver grow that big and fatty without force feeding and confining. The liver takes up 80% of their bodies. That's what they are farmed for. EXTREMELY CRUEL.
No chicken will ever grow breasts as large, no steer as meaty without steroids. Pick your poison, at least the ducks and geese are only fed corn.
