Punching the supplier in the face during the meeting I set up was extremely satisfying. Running them out of town after six months of continued pressure even more so. Be warned foie gras people, the despicable methods that you turn away from in order to produce and eat this stuff can't be ignored. Look over your shoulder.

It was all a bit intimidating, farmers in berets and their wives either buying or selling numerous polystyrene boxes full of whole, seemingly pulsating duck and goose livers. My French isn't wonderful, but after a poorly understood conversation with one of the vendeurs, I decided to buy one. A cultural experienece and I will invite my French neighbours over to share it. Sixty euros worth! The problem is I'm not sure how to cook it. She did say something about sterilizing it with salt, then boiling for an hour. Now I have read that it should be deveined, where is this vein? Any advice would be very welcome. I went along to Samatan this morning, to the foie gras market.
