Like California, New York plans to completely abandon this popular French cuisine. City deputies are already considering a bill that puts the sale of duck or goose liver outside the scope of the law.

New York City Council members from Manhattan and Brooklyn, Carlin Rivera and Justin Brennan, introduced the bill. In their view, forcibly feeding poultry to obtain a fatty liver is inhumane and does not correspond to the ideals of democracy. Such barbaric methods can be called the word "sadism." Since foie gras is not included in the diet of New Yorkers, this dish must be banned.
Restaurants serving foie gras are planned to be fined $ 1,000 and / or imprisoned for 1 year.
French restaurants did not comment on this innovation, only two cooks, on condition of complete anonymity, gave him the definition of utter stupidity. If the law was passed, they agreed to remove the foie gras from the menu.
The city hall also became interested in the bill. Officials promise to consider it. But the speaker of the City Council has not yet determined his attitude to him. Karlin Rivera herself is confident that the law will enter into force.
