What did you cook or eat today (July 2020)?

[Morning Glory]

Foie gras from geese that were not force fed.

OK - I thought that was maybe what it meant. But how do they get the fatty livers?

Poached egg on garlic laced spinach with grilled tomato and fried bread snippets. Urfa chilli flakes sprinkled over.

Non Force-Fed Goose Foie Gras

So it comes from Geese that were fed more in winter to make use of their natural weight gain and winter eating instinct

Thanks - I never buy foie gras because of the force feeding. I will look out for the ethnically sourced in future

Yes I used to be the same until I found this . There are more farms that do this. Since then I have it once a year around my birthday

Yes that one is very expensive, but not all farms are. I paid e50 .

Fish & Chips, one of my favorites. Watching my weight but once a month I cannot resist. If you don’t have something to look forward to I would rather not be on this earth.View attachment 43718

Yep, know what you mean, trying to shift some stubborn pounds myself. But every so often I have a treat!

Bento boxes with chicken rice balls, as well as just chicken with rice with furikake sprinkled over the rice, marinated sweet potatoes, tempura shrimp, pickled veges of carrots, cucumbers, ginger and radish, glass noodle salad, and we were also supposed to have marinated shiitaki mushrooms, but I forgot about them. All the pickled and marinated veges were done 3 days ago. Sauce was Kewpie mayo, sriracha and sesame oil.

Yeah, California is almost a separate country from the rest of the US. But surprising that they aren't all on board with that regulation. Lots and lots of hippie tree huggers in the north of that state (my oldest sister lives there). I actually can't believe it's still allowed anywhere, for that matter.

Oh, and veal. Ugh. I love young pasture-raised beef but the way they treat veal cattle is abominable. I won't touch it.
