Foie Gras means fat liver in French. It is a French dish consisting of the liver of a duck or goose which has been fattened by force feeding the animal with a feeding tube. The animal's diet is usually corn boiled in fat fed to it in amounts larger than it would normally want to eat.

What is the difference between fois gras and Hudson Valley Fois Gras?

Most fois gras is produced in France but, Hudson Valley Fois Gras is actually a brand name and fois gras made in the US. The praise for Hudson Valley Fois Gras is that they use traditional French methods for fattening the goose liver. Where the Hudson Valley product differs from the French product is that the product is not made from goose liver but rather a hybrid of Pekin & Muscovy duck called Moulard duck. There has been much controversy over fois gras due to the force feeding of the animal in order to grow the liver. In some states fois gras has been banned.
