Synopsis
In 2005, following a newspaper article by Marc Caro, Chicagoans took to the streets to do battle over their right to consume fatty duck livers. Celebrity chef Charlie Trotter ignited the dispute when he banned foie gras in his popular Chicago restaurant, citing the cruelty of the force-feeding procedure known as "gavage," which fattens the ducks' livers before they are slaughtered. Eventually, the city voted to ban foie gras altogether, which naturally caused the popularity of this semi-obscure dish to surge, as patrons scrambled to sample it before it became illegal (The ban has since been lifted). Caro provides in-depth coverage of this unusual controversy, by visiting several farms where the ducks are raised and consulting with politicians who rallied on both sides of the agenda. This is a fascinating story by itself, but Caro pushes further by exploring important issues surrounding animal rights, including the delicate question of how to determine what might be an acceptable level of cruelty to inflict on animals being raised for slaughter.

Publisher's Note
Traces the history of the popular bird-liver delicacy from its origins 5,000 years ago through its reemergence as a luxury food, in an account that explores modern controversies pertaining to its production and the ways foie gras has become an object of cultural battles.

Industry Reviews
"Caro,...an engaging, funny writer, makes a palatable case for this luxury as an entry point into today's strangely high-stakes food culture."
