HOBO FOIE GRAS

Farming on your back! I tell you its possible and this dish proves it. Fattened goose liver is one of the most prized delicacies in the world, selling for hundreds of dollars a pound. But all you need to do is steal a goose and commit horrible acts of animal cruelty on it. As an added bonus, you get an unusually rich goose carcass to boot.

Just one note: if you intend to roast the goose boil it for 30 to 45 minutes. Then remove the goose and do what you want to it. But be sure to let the boiling water cool and skim and save the fat because it is liquid love. It is the tastiest of all the fats in the animal kingdom!

Ingredients:

· One Live Stolen Goose
· Lotsa Dried Corn Meal
· Water

Method:
· Tie the damned goose by the feet.
· Every time you stop walking take a short length of garden hose cram it down the throat of the beast.
· Mix the corn and water to a paste and force as much as u can down the tube.
· Continue this for 2 to 3 weeks.
· If the force feeding don't kill it it will yield one 4 to 5 pound liver and a big fat ass goose.

TIP: If you let the goose stay near you when u bed down it will act as watch dog and will alert u to near by danger.

CATTAIL SALAD
