P&O hit by foie gras storm

Has anyone else been following the fois gras fracas that has been playing out on the Cruise.co.uk website?

It all started when P&O Cruises revealed foie gras was included on the menu in Seventeen, the new speciality restaurant on Azura.

Must say, it made up my mind. I'm definitely eating in there if I ever get the chance.

Seems I might be the only one though. And I might have to get through the card-carrying "save the geese and ducks" protesters to get to my table.

The same ones who no doubt eat fish that has been snarred on a hook and cheap battery-farmed chickens from Tesco, and who rush to the dining room for lobster night while proclaiming it's cooked at its best when thrown into boiling water while still alive.

And how funny they don't protest about veal, another favourite on the cruise ship menus.

I'm with you, Jane. I'll have the foie gras to start, followed by the lobster linguini, and the veal cutlet for main course. Bon appetit !

Hooray. I won't have to dine alone after all!
