Re: Britain outside the EU
My ongoing endeavours to find good Brexit news and maintain my balanced approach to the subject have unearthed this.
Quote:
An ancient, albeit controversial delicacy may be banned from the UK as Brexit leaves the Government free to control UK imports more closely.
Foie gras looks set to be struck from the country’s menus as ministers look to tighten laws surrounding animal welfare.
The delicacy, which is often seen here either pan fried or as a pâté, is the artificially fattened liver of a goose or duck and is made using gavage, the practice of force-feeding the birds twice or three times daily, often via a tube inserted down their throat. This results in the liver growing, typically, to six times its usual size. In some form, artificially fattening birds has happened since the days of the Ancient Egyptians.
