The ducks don't suffer to make foie. They even walk up to get fed. I read US abdomens all day and diagnose humans with foie gras...hepatic steatosis. It's fatty liver. The ducks are fed a large amount of food through funnels, but no one holds them down to do it... they walk up with their mouths open.
I love foie. I love beef tongue and sweet breads. Tripe is not my thing unless it's shredded on a bowl of Pho. Chicken hearts are the best thing in the world when you're in Brazil at a churrascaria. I don't like blood sausage or brains. Chicken and cow liver are gross. Gizzards give me bad memories of childhood. Fried soft roe is pretty tasty.
