Do you have any ideas what Foie Gras mean? As shown below, Foie Gras is considered as a luxury dish in France and several European countries and North America. Foie Gras (means fat liver in French) is made of a duck or goose liver that has been specially fattened.
Look appetizing? Want to know how to make it? And how they make a duck or goose liver more fat than ordinary duck/goose? The process called, ‘force-feeding’.
At the start of the process, the bird will be fed 250 grams of dry weight food per day. The amount will increase to 1000 grams dry weight food at the end of the process. The actual amount of food force-fed is much greater since the birds are fed a mash whose composition is about 53% dry and 47% liquid.
The food is forced into the bird’s esophagus by a long tube length 20-30 cm long (shown below). This force-feeding process will be done for 12 to 15 days with ducks and for 15 to 18 days with geese. During this phase ducks are usually fed twice daily while geese are fed up to 4 times daily.
Now, does it still delicious to you?
