Do jews eat foie gras or goose liver?

The goose is a kosher bird, and the liver is a potentially kosher part of its body.

So IF the goose is properly slaughtered and inspected, and IF its liver is removed

and properly cooked, then the liver may be eaten.

As far as foie gras is concerned, I'm no expert, but I do see a couple of problems:

1). The usual methods of fattening the goose with gavage might well be prohibited

by the laws either in favor of kashruth or against cruelty to animals.

2). The only acceptable method of cooking liver for kosher consumption is thorough

broiling, which might render it unusable as foie gras.

That said, I'm sure that there are large numbers of Jews who eat foie gras.

But I have some doubts that those who keep kosher do.
