"Taken from a goose made docile and gorged without mercy, the consumption of a diseased organ due to this treatment is a horrifying thing. Just the process of making goose liver makes you feel nauseous. Common in France, it was performed mainly by peasant women. He would take a young goose into his lap and shove white bread and other feed down its throat. At a certain point the goose had enough and began to choke. Then the peasant woman threw what she had vomited back into her mouth along with other food, and she continued to do so until the poor goose lost her gag reflex and allowed herself to be stuffed without resistance. [...] And for those for whom this description is still not enough to give up such food, just imagine the same process in a modern version, where the goose is stuffed by a machine. (Ruediger Dahlke)"
