Upon taking effect, the law would not only wipe out Gonzalez's operation, in the Central Valley, but would also prohibit the sale of foie gras anywhere in California-- no matter where it comes from-- if it is made by force-feeding birds to enlarge their livers, a centuries-old culinary tradition from Perigord and Gascony known as " gavage ."

:: : : : : : : : : : : I have already pointed to the definition of " gavage " in the dictionary of the French Academy ( as well as in other dictionaries ) which clearly states that it means feeding by force ( again, French laws are not written in slang or colloquial French, in which " gavage " indeed has other uses, as I said ).

It is the product of intense gavage through a pipe, on certain species of animals that the Egyptians are not known, as far as has been sourced, to have domesticated . ( Gavage does not produce foie gras on just any species of ducks or geese-that is precisely the subject of the INRA article cited by Ramdrake . ) David Olivier 15 : 17, 16 January 2007 ( UTC)

Now, if you want to remove the part about the Egyptians based on the fact that they invented gavage but not necessarily foie gras as we know it, that can also be arranged, "'if we also remove every single reference to force-feeding, its effects on birds and the bans that surround it from the article "', since they pertain to gavage, and not to foie gras per se.

Cette capacit?d'adaptation naturelle du m�tabolisme lipidique permet d'expliquer ?la fois l'intensit?de la st�atose h�patique de gavage et sa r�versibilit? dans des conditions certes extraphysiologiques, mais non pathologiques . ( " this natural capacity of adaptation of lipid metabolism gives an explanation both of the intensity of the hepatic steatosis of force feeding and of its reversibility, " in conditions which admittedly are extraphisiological, but not pathological " ")

:: : : As I already wrote, while ancient Egyptians gavage is not relevant to the foie gras history, the current gavage is most relevant because 1 / it is currently the only method to produce foie gras ( except for the one single Spanish producer ) and 2 / because it is practised only to produce foie gras : obviously, any banning of force feeding has relevant effects on the production of foie gras-and this is not relevant, in your mind?
