EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon, titled "The Guest who called the Foie Gras Potted Meat," was published in The Illustrated London News on November 29, 1929. The image depicts a man sitting at a fancy dinner table, surrounded by his well-dressed peers. With a smug expression on his face, he raises his spoon towards a dish of foie gras potted meat, ready to take a bite. However, his joy is short-lived as the woman seated next to him rolls her eyes and covers her nose in disgust. The man's neighbor on the other side of the table looks equally appalled, and the butler in the background looks on disapprovingly. Foie gras, a delicacy made from the liver of a force-fed duck or goose, was a controversial dish even in the 1920s. Its production involves force-feeding birds through a tube, a practice that was and still is considered inhumane by many. The man in the cartoon seems oblivious to the social faux-pas he has committed, as he savors the rich and decadent dish. His insensitivity to the ethical concerns surrounding foie gras and the discomfort of his fellow diners highlights the social divide of the time. This cartoon is a fascinating snapshot of the social norms and values of the past, and serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between food, ethics, and social etiquette.
