Oh, and adding to the foie gras thing, the way they used to do it (I'm pretty sure this method's illegal here, now; not sure about other places) was by nailing the goose's feet down so it couldn't walk around and then feeding it lots and lots of very fatty food. Then the pate is made from the liver, which is extremely rich as a result of the goose's diet.
