I can see it all now. A gang of armed cops wearing wind breakers with FDA
painted in huge yellow letters breaks into a SF eatery, orders everyone onto
the floor face down, kicks a few people in the teeth as an example and then
sends specially trained agents into the walk-in fridge to extract the foie
gras. A startled chef is ordered to "drop that spatula hairbag and back
away from the stove HANDS IN THE AIR!!" A few diners caught with the
illicit substance are cuffed, leg-ironed and hooded, then whisked off to
Gitmo for some "pre-interrogation softening up."
