Thanks for the advice though, I wouldn't be thinking about the animals anyway though, the occasions I've had it have been in really nice restaurants so I'm just focussing on enjoying a lovely meal.”

Ha you're comparing name calling to the disgusting cruelty of foie gras. Are you actually serious? If so you're a bigger sick than first thought. Never mind the absolute agony those birds go through day after day, you enjoy your lovely meals and worry about name calling. ****ing hell.

On reflection though, the next time I'm out and there's foie gras on the menu, I'll be sure to tell them that I'm no longer eating foie gras and am depriving myself because a complete stranger on the internet called me a dick.”

Or how about you 'deprive' yourself because you don't want to support the cruelty of foie gras?

BUT it tastes amazing. All meat eating and eating of eggs is cruel but millions of people still do it.

Well I wasn't doing that actually, I was saying that name calling on a message board due to what someone likes to eat is a bit of a dick-ish thing to do.

You don't need to keep telling me to enjoy my meals and not think about the animals, whilst it's sage advice, I already do it.

It tastes amazing so I eat it. Do you seriously think that because you're doing a bit of name calling I'm going to stop eating it? Get a grip.

Or how about I don't deprive myself because it's bloody tasty?

You evil, evil man/woman/animal.

I trust that every person moralising about foie gras never eats 'barn eggs' which are simply a rebranding of battery farming with an extra inch of space. They never eat barn-farmed chicken or turkey which don't have space to walk about comfortably let alone get outside. Or veal. Or farmed salmon where fish are squashed into small pools.

Cue lies about 'I only eat organic free-range food'.

Cheap eggs are the acceptable face of animal cruelty.

I'm worse than Hitler me!

The best restaurant I ever went to gave me lashings of foie gras and put a puppy under the table just for me to kick.

I wasn't talking about cheap eggs, more the mincing of live male chicks.

There's two aspects: the gassing of male chicks and the keeping of hens in battery cages hardly bigger than the old banned battery cages.

At least they did not die hungry.

Was just reading that apparently gassing of chicks is less humane than mincing them!

I was once strongly advised by a restaurant owner that people should always order truffles by their Latin names. The varieties of truffle vary enormously in quality and price and unscrupulous sellers were using vague designations like "Black Truffles" to try to pass off cheaper species as something posher. I believe there are now guidelines that truffle descriptions should always be accompanied by Latin names.
