The Ultimate Valentine's Day Meal
in response to reader comment: ~ Foie Gras : A Product of Torture ~

Perhaps Ms. D'aguin should consider providing a movie with dinner to her "in Love" diners. She can call the movie, by all means, Ms. D'aguin, feel free to use the title, Foie Gras: The Valentine's Day Massacre. Imagine, each couple sitting down at a table that has been reserved just for them, they giggle and coo and exchange loving glances as they drink expensive wine and dine on the livers of tortured and diseased birds. The lights then dim and the movie begins with a small scared and helpless duck being taken out of a small and over crowded cage by large, hairy hands. The duck is then taken to a filthy room where it is harshly held by another pair of uncaring hands, these hands, however, are not as hairy or as big, because they belong to Ms. D'aguin. She pries open the beak of her helpless victim and then methodically and precisely, as she has done this thousands of times,and without the use of anaesthetics, shoves a metal pipe into the the throat of this helpless animal and begins to force feed him or her. This torture session will be repeated time and time again until the ducks liver is enlarged many times over and it can no longer serve its function of detoxification. The movie ends with Ms. D'aguin finally murdering all of her victims.
