Demo of force feeding a goose

The movie "Closely Watched Trains" has an interesting minute or two of a woman force feeding a goose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.79.156.33 (talk) 17:33, July 15, 2021 (UTC)

Not a documentary, so not of value here as far as accuracy is concerned; fictional movies are not reliable sources. TJRC (talk) 20:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 'Animal Welfare' Section

In regard to the first paragraph of the section labeled 'animal welfare' I wish to suggest that the [which?] tag be removed, as it is largely, if not wholly, unnecessary. It is unnecessary because immediately preceding this paragraph there is a political world map that displays the countries where foie gras production is illegal and those where it is produced legally.

In other words, one need only to see the map to find exactly " [which?] " countries outlaw foie gras production. 75.108.184.159 (talk) 10:08, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Postclassical Europe period

I may have too hastily removed a section of the article, I'm new here and made the account to make the edit. The offending line implied the Jewish adoption of foie gras arose during their bondage in Egypt. The secondary source used pointed to the biblical story Exodus as it's basis. Considering it is widely acknowledged that the Jewish people weren't enslaved in Egypt, I took the liberty of removing the line. ChristianGreyOne (talk) 07:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
