Restaurants in Chicago decide to serve foie gras in defiance of the ban.
"“This ban is embarrassing Chicago,” said Grant DePorter of Harry Caray’s Restaurant, which dreamed up an appetizer of pan-seared foie gras and scallops ($14.95) and a Vesuvio-style entree pairing foie gras and tenderloin ($33.95) just to buck the new ordinance. “We really don’t think the City Council should decide what Chicagoans eat. What’s next? Some other city outlaws brussels sprouts? Another outlaws chicken? Another, green beans?” "
Comments friend Tom: "How bad is it for a duck to overeat on cornmeal? Left to their own devices,I suspect ducks would eat it non-stop. This tube down the throat stuff seems more myth than reality--though snuggling between a farm maid's thighs as she strokes your throat seems to me to tend more toward lascivious fantasy. It is a fact that when the corn is stopped, and if the duck is not slaughtered, its liver returns to normal size."
That last sentence might apply to corn liquor as well...
