I am well aware that - like bullfighting, meat eating, fur coats, etc. - some people are opposed to foie gras on moral grounds.
I don't wish to go there, but I would like to know what the legal status of foie gras is in the US.
I've read that California will shortly be banning foie gras production, and that the city of Chicago has prohibited its sale in Windy City restaurants.
Is it legal to make foie gras is most parts of the country?
Where else can it not be legally produced or sold?
Is there any chance of the prohibition spreading?
Is foie gras readily available in American cities? Only in canned form?
Can you buy fresh foie gras?
What do US customs say about bringing the stuff into the country?
Best regards,
Alex R.
