<br>Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 11:07 AM<br>To: viz<br>Subject: [Vision2020] Diseased Duck Liver<br><br>What is the proper pronunciation of "foie gras". I'm sure I botch it<br>everytime I try to pronounce it. My best guess ebonically would be "fwa
<br>gwa". But is this correct? My other guesses are "foy grass" and "fwa<br>grass". "Diseased duck liver" is easier for me to pronounce and is a more<br>accurate description, but if the message is that "foie gras" = "diseased
<br>duck/goose liver cause by keeping ducks/geese in small cages, inserting a<br>metal tube down their throats, and force feeding them to enlarge their<br>livers" I want to make sure I'm pronouncing "foie gras" correctly.
<br>Otherwise the message will be lost to foie gras affectionado who have no<br>idea what I'm talking about when I say "foy grass".<br><br>-Scott<br><br><br><br>=======================================================
