Liver hard, die young
BoJo's bozos—AKA the UK government—are likely to drop plans to ban the import of foie gras, after several cabinet ministers raised concerns over upcoming dinner parties.
People who don't have posh dinner parties expressed their envy, by protesting against the weakening of the Animals Abroad Bill.
As such, the happiness of Tarquins and Cressidas the length and breadth of Hampstead and Chelsea, hangs in the balance.
Abigail Penny, executive director at Animal Equality UK, told the BBC that foie gras was an "immensely cruel" food product that could lead to liver disease in ducks and geese.

I'm not sure that turning their livers into pate is a disease as such, Abi. It's more of a postmortem procedure. And they're gonna be eaten anyway. It's not as if they're going to otherwise live a long and carefree life, so what does it matter? The disease
, that is, not the force-feeding, which is cruelty.
Fortunately for diners in Hampstead and Chelsea, the French don't give a shit about ducky-wuckies' and goosey-woosies' welfare.
Foie gras is made from duck or, more traditionally, goose liver. The article corrects the only partially-accurate figure caption.
Personally, I think foie gras is disgusting, but more for its texture than anything. I'd no sooner eat it than a slab of butter.
