People are all in a fuss about the foie gras. Sure, some people love it, even celebrate it, but others aren't so enamoured of this gourmet delicacy. In fact, there is legislation in the works at the state Assembly which would ban foie gras production. New York Metro recently focused on the fight between duck-loving activists and duck liver lovers.
Given all the hoopla about foie gras lately, we'd love to know your opinion on the matter. And for the record, our favorite foie gras dish in the city was the terrine of foie gras we had at Per Se, infused with ribbons of truffle. Let the flaming begin.
