The new policy is in place at Buckingham Palace and all other royal residences
King Charles has carried on a ban of a 'despicable dish' from all royal menus, according to national reports. The King, 74, hates the dish foie gras and has reportedly banned it from Buckingham Palace in years gone by.
The controversial food is made from the abnormally enlarged liver of a duck or goose and the move has been praised by animal rights group PETA , The Express reports. A spokesperson from PETA said: "As Prince of Wales, King Charles removed foie gras – a despicable product for which ducks and geese are force-fed until their livers swell up to 10 times their natural size before the animals are slaughtered – from his royal residences.
"Now, PETA has received confirmation that His Majesty’s compassionate policy extends to Buckingham Palace and all other royal residences." It has been reported that all the royal residences have not served foie gras for the last 10 years, meaning the late Queen Elizabeth II most likely implemented the rule banning the controversial dish herself.Foie gras translates to "fatty liver" in English.
Once the birds are eight-weeks-old, they are force-fed for up to four weeks via metal tubes to enlarge and richen the liver. The website says: "This process, also known as 'gavage', is repeated multiple times a day. The force-feeding causes the birds' livers to swell up to 10 times their natural size."
