"In modern foie gras production, force feeding takes place 12−18 days before slaughter. The duck or goose is typically fed a controlled amount of corn mash through a tube placed in the animal's oesophagus."
Sounds very exciting! In fact I'm off to get force fed today, just so that I too can have a fatty liver!
