"If you convince them that they're not domesticated, their natural instinct takes over," he explains. "When it turns cold and it's time for them to migrate, they start gorging to prepare for the long flight." The result is a fattened liver that, while smaller than conventional foie, is delicious enough to have won France's prestigious Coup de Coeur award.
