Researchers wondered if there was a more ethical way to enjoy foie gras , so they created a process to replicate the dish without force-feeding ducks and geese .

They treated the fat with the bird's own lipases, mimicking the activities that occur naturally in the duck's body.

The team confirmed the physical properties of the dish with stress-deformation tests and found that the treated foiegras had a similar mouthfeel to the original.
