goose liver

Fatty delicacy source

Goose liver is the liver of a goose, prized in cooking for its rich, buttery flavor.

It appears in pâtés and terrines.

Fattened goose liver, produced by force-feeding the bird, is the basis of foie gras—a French delicacy controversial for its production methods: The restaurant removed goose liver from the menu after animal welfare protests.
