Well , thank goodness we still have Le Français, Le Titi de Paris, and Carlos’s in the suburbs. And there’s always France. They have refused to ban foie gras, because it’s a cultural icon.

And I agree with Daley — you start messing with one item on the menu, and it’s just a matter of time before you’re messing with everything on the menu. I just read an article last week about a proposal for government rationing of calories as a way of controlling obesity problems in the U.S.

So the question is — when does the ban go into effect, and how much foie gras can I eat before then?
