Foie Gras May Be Humanely Produced After All
When it comes to culinary controversy, there are few things more divisive than the fatty duck liver known as foie gras. The reason? The allegedly inhumane "gavage," or force-feeding process, which involves placing a metal tube down a duck's throat to deliver large amounts of food.

Savory Sights: Peking Duck
Check out this photo that our very own Molly took. She was on vacation in Hong Kong and from the look of things, it seems like she was eating quite well. Her photo of a Peking style duck is a bit disturbing, but I bet it was even more delicious than she said it was.
Festive Foods: Modern Peking Duck
I'll admit, it's a little weird to feature festive food from a country that doesn't really celebrate Christmas, but well folks, times are changing.
Although only one percent (or less) of the Chinese population is Christian, it appears that Christmas is on the rise.
