(force-)feeds the ducks with corn Explanation: Foie gras; French for "fat liver" is a food product made of the liver of a duck or goose that has been specially fattened. By French law, foie gras is defined as the liver of a duck fattened by force feeding corn - Force-feeding is also known as gavage, from a French word meaning "to gorge". http://www.esdaw.eu/foie-gras.html Embuchar = stuff https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=emb... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2019-09-19 22:46:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- An adapted food Our ducks are fed only vegetal products (corn and wheat) traditionally with whole corn (which represents only 6% of the French production). Our breeding specifications guarantee non GMO maize. http://www.bestfoiegras.com/products.php WHAT IS FOIE GRAS? French cuisine defines foie gras as duck liver or goose liver, fattened by gavage or force-feeding. France is the largest producer of foie gras in the world, with an average of 20 tons produced each year (about 80% of the world market). It is followed by Hungary and Bulgaria. https://www.196flavors.com/france-foie-gras/ Fattening is traditionally by hand and exclusively with French Southwest whole grain corn by respecting the very strict procedure of “label rouge” Landes certified production. https://umitochi.com.au/product/castaing-whole-duck-liver-fo... I don't think you can use 'force-feed' no one would buy/eat the product! 'Feeds' or 'fattens' sounds much better. 'is the only company/business that fattens the ducks with corn'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2019-09-20 06:34:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11. FATTY LIVER OR FOIE GRAS PRODUCTION Fatty liver production is the process of force-feeding (cramming) geese, which are normally between 9-25 weeks of age, for a period of 14-21 days. During this period the weight of the liver will increase from an initial weight of about 80g to a final weight of between 600-1 000g. Geese, along with mule ducks, and to a lesser degree Muscovy ducks, are the most popular birds used for fatty liver production. As is the case for both mule and Muscovy ducks, corn is the nutrient of choice for the force-feeding period for geese because of its high starch content and relatively low cost. Fatty liver production is very specialised and to be successful both skill and sensitivity are required of the person force-feeding the geese. http://www.fao.org/3/Y4359E/y4359e0d.htm The reference above is from the FAO, although Rick is right - maize is the term used by a U.K. audience. |
