So, what is goose liver?

Goose liver, also known as foie gras, is a delicacy prized for its rich and buttery flavor. It is obtained from the liver of geese that have been specially raised and fed to produce a larger, fattier organ. This process involves force-feeding the birds to stimulate the liver's growth, which has caused controversy among animal welfare groups. Despite this, many gourmets consider goose liver to be a luxurious ingredient that elevates any dish it's added to. It can be enjoyed pan-seared, poached, or in pâtÊ form, and pairs well with sweet, acidic, or spicy flavors.
