Amadeus Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Foie gras ban put to councillors Foie gras could be banned from all council buildings in Bolton if a motion raised later is met with approval. How good to know that these hard working defenders of world peace are now targeting this hugely important topic, especially as it is well known that millions of tons of Foie Gras are consumed by council house tennants every year, who usually enjoy it together with a bit of veuve clicquot and some caviar on the side. I fully expect Foie Gras enforcement agents to search every kitchen on every estate in Bolton shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I saw a video on North West news last night showing how these Geese and Ducks etc. are force fed twice a day to make their livers 10 times bigger than normal. Not particularly nice viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly nice viewing. An ugly sight true enough. Happily, some around the main Foie area are free range these days and you can visit the birds and see how they're raised. Tastes better too!

cheeky boy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Couldn't really see Bolton council tenants eating foie gras Unless it was in a pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 What's with the assumption that everybody in Bolton is a council tenant? From council buildings means all offices of Bolton Council, not private dwellings, be they local authority owned or not. Why shouldn't council tenants eat this muck if they want to? You snob.

cheeky boy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I realise that the ban covered council offices and workshops rather than council owned homes But I am a snob, particularly when it comes to food and I thought taking the piss out of Bolton's council tenants sounded funnier I apologise unreservedly Now you get back to your deep fried in batter big mac & large coke, while I tuck into a little lobster & truffle mousse washed down with chilled Vouvray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 What's with the assumption that everybody in Bolton is a council tenant? A quick Google shows 22% of housing in Bolton is social housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I don't get your point. 22% is of social housing origin,how much is still in the control of the council? I have no inclination to read yet another diatribe about how fucking clever you are with google and other search machines. How about stopping this 'cut and paste' mentality and come up with some original thought? How long to we have to suffer your rantings and general 'up oneself' ideology? No doubt there will follow a whole page of crap about the levels of poverty in the north east opposed to the same data in the southern hemisphere and why the inhabitants of the dark continent don't eat some inflated goose livers, even though it's loaded with good enzymes and vitamins. I'm sick of it all and I'm going for a lie down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is over the last Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Afternoon everyone I personally love Liver of any description as long as it does not end in pool FC. More worrying, if anyone is a Bolton Fan would be the appointment of GARY MEGSON as manager, let's get things into perspective.
