In the past decade, the French delicacy foie gras鈥攖he fattened liver of ducks or geese that have been force-fed through a tube鈥攈as been at the center of contentious battles. In Contested Tastes, Michaela DeSoucey takes us to farms, restaurants, protests, and political hearings in both the United States and France to reveal why people care so passionately about foie gras鈥攁nd why we should care, too. Bringing together fieldwork, interviews, and materials from archives and the media on both sides of the Atlantic, DeSoucey offers a compelling look at the moral arguments and provocative actions of pro- and anti-foie gras forces. She combines personal stories with fair-minded analysis and draws our attention to the cultural dynamics of markets, the multivocal nature of 鈥済astropolitics,鈥� and the complexities of what it means to identify as a 鈥渕oral鈥� eater in today鈥檚 food world. Investigating the causes and consequences of the foie gras wars, Contested Tastes illuminates the social significance of food and taste in the twenty-first century.
