French foie gras can grace Japanese dinner tables once more, two years after Tokyo banned it following outbreaks of bird flu, French agriculture minister Stephane Travert said Friday.
« That’s the good news of the night. Japan has allowed the re-introduction on its market of poultry, but also foie gras, » Travert told Radio Classique.
Japan is the largest importer of the delicacy, whose production involves force-feeding birds with more food than they would normally eat in the wild, massively engorging their liver.
