TED Talks - Dan Barber: A surprising parable of foie gras
I have never had foie gras but I have watched enough Iron Chef to know that it is quite the delicacy. To be honest I have never really had a desire to try it because of what it is: Liver. I really do not like beef liver. It has gotten so bad that I have had an involuntary gagging reaction just to the smell of it. I know that fowl liver and bovine liver should have different tastes but I can’t seem to make that distinction because of my distaste for beef liver.
Dan Barber’s story just might change my mind. I admire how Eduardo Sousa has managed to work with nature instead of trying to control it. His story is inspiring and interesting and I would love to visit the farm and see his magical methods at play. Both Dan and Eduardo’s enthusiasm for foie gras is infectious and makes me feel excited for this delicacy as well.
I probably won’t be ordering any foie gras for myself just yet … but I’d be more inclined to steal a bite of L’s plate if she does.
