Oh please!

So Meg’s foie gras post is up. She says her cuisine reigns supreme: yeah right! Oh so you put a pretty lettuce leaf on your plate and suddenly yours is better? And now she’s bragging that there weren’t any veins, but judging from her reluctance to show her de-veining pictures who knows if we can trust her? And her friend who is a Princeton PhD candidate sounds made up. Does Princeton even have a PhD program? I doubt it. And her sour cherries came from a JAR? A JAR?! My God, woman, have you no shame? She wants the photos to speak for themselves–so fine, look here America. Which would you rather eat, Meg’s:

Or mine??

    This so called “Meg’s” photo is an outrage! That clearly is not my hand! It is true that I did not post any deveining photos (to spare my readers the graphic nature of such a task), so I ask you: where did Adam procure such a picture? Not from me! Clearly, it’s not mine but is a picture of Adam’s amateur attempts to devein his foie.

    If Adam Roberts will lie about the origin of a photo, what won’t he lie about?

    Hey- She said hardly a vein- but only photographed one portion- Adam’s tourchon only had one portion with a vein… Who knows- maybe three of Meg’s had veins… She also had the benefit of reading this post before posting her own, practically airbrushed, beautifully styled photos.

    I say you win for sure!

    Hmm. Doctored photographs, ad hominem attacks – where have we seen these tactics before? It’s like the Wire season 4, except we all got to enjoy that, whereas only we got to enjoy Meg’s superior Foie!

    Does this qualify as a coup de “gras”? ;)

    Seriously, are there any leftovers and where can I get them?

    isn’t ANYONE else grossed out by this? just a little?! didn’t they, like, outlaw foie gras in chicago because it’s so gross?!

    It looks like there’s a slice of her finger in there!

    Yeah, but Adam, yours looks like a big whack of mortadella.

    Still. Good! :D
