What if I told you that this is exactly what "foie gras" translates to?
When I was introduced to it, I was told that they feed the geese a diet heavy in corn and other grains, which they're not accustomed to eating, and their liver goes into overdrive to process it all and grows really big.
I was young and didn't take a stance against it but I was very weirded out by that description, way more than the actual taste or texture.

I know, I'm just saying that if you go by the way people rave about it, you'd think it tasted really good or something. Instead it just tastes like fat, and not even the good kind of animal fat, but that weirdly offal-tasting liver fat
also the idea of something's liver being beige is just disgusting as well. Imagine wanting to eat that
faux grass is the most overrated thing ever. shit just tastes like fatty liver. like they should just eat a fucking egg yolk if they want that so bad
I had it once at a super boogie restaurant and was so... underwhelmed. Like, why? It just tastes, mushy? Bitter?

Why yes, it is awful-tasting in fact.
