Hi Steve, your right. It was banned in 2003.

-----
Jerusalem, August 11th, 2003. The Israeli Supreme Court ruled today in
a detailed decision, that force-feeding of geese and ducks, as
practiced in Israel, is in violation of the law, and that regulations
that allowed this practice are not valid. The Court granted the
industry a period of about a year and a half (until March 2005) before
the ban is enforced.

When I worked in the Deli, it was 1970, 33 years before it was banned
in Israel. The foie gras was one of the most popular and seriously
delicious foods served there.

Squirts, as usual, is wrong again. He assumes things and then thinks
they are absolutes. Frankly, he's an idiot.
