I had a good chuckle at that myself.<br /><br /><b>Darin</b>: Yup, he was surrounded.<br /><br /><b>Stephanie</b>: Didn't see you either. We were in the room behind the bar.<br /><br /><b>Tricia</b>: Ha! Nice meeting you.<br /><br /><b>Anon</b>: (1) Sometimes, but the pacing and portions are usually such that I'm not overwhelmingly full by the end of it. (2) The world is full of cruelty, so I'm not going to worry about this one little issue.<br /><br /><b>Sam</b>: I could see a number of restaurants doing a foie tasting menu before the ban!<br /><br /><b>Tanya</b>: I'm not sure that I understand your "crackers" comment.<br /><br /><b>Jai</b>: Good catch; fixed the link.

Very enjoyable to re...Excellent post again, Kevin. Very enjoyable to read. Two questions:<br /><br />1) When you have tasting menus (and those paired with wines), do you ever find yourself getting full before all the courses are presented?<br /><br />2) How do you respond to the contention about cruelty? (and by no means am I passing judgment at all, I'm just curious as to how you would genuinely respond to why the cruelty accusations do not prevent you from eating foie. [altho i surmise it's b/c similar accusations could be made about everything we eat....]).<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-60247652865079802382010-11-18T19:29:30.377-08:002010-11-18T19:29:30.377-08:00Full?
