Paris Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
Ducks and geese have to undergo
very cruel treatment in order to pro-
vide us monsters" with those excellent
foies gras that are found nowhere so
good as in Paris. The unfortunate am
phibious bird is fastened down to the
floor of q dark cellar where high de-
gree of temperature is kept up and is
fed to repletion on q preparation of
oatmeal, barley and corn. In few
weeks its liver attains an extraordinary
size, and then the bird is killed. 1t is
with this liver that is prepared one
of the greatest gastronomic deli
cacies. These livers sometimes
weigh four pounds apiece. Such livers
readily command from 80 to 40 cents
apiece for ducks and from As to 60
cents per pound for geese. These gil
gantic livers for the most part come
either from the south of France or from
Strasburg, those from the last-named
place being the most highly esteemed.
Some also come from Austria, but these
do not command such high prices.
The difference in the price between
the livers of ducks and geese is that
the former lose very much in volume
when placed over the fire and not on
account of any difference in the deli
cacy or flavor of the dish when made.
