My new question, how much profit are they making off the sandwich?
Oh no, someone is paying a lot for a sandwich, therefore they are scum of the earth, think of the children! Just because it's in a sandwich people are saying it's stupid, minus the bread and stick it on a plate with some veg instead, people wouldn't say anything really with those kind of ingredients.
That £85 was going to be spent on something and it wasn't a donation to oxfam or those "poor starving children in africa", so what difference does it make what they spend it on?
Just a pet hate people saying, "oh but think of the starving people in..." wheneevr something expensive or overpiced is mentioned. On that principle we should be all eating stuff we grow ourselves/the cheapest thing we can find and donating the rest to charity. :rolleyes:
i could eat a sandwich right now...mm
Eating Foie Gras is inexcusable, imo.
Hahahahahaha marry me?
it has been made for years tho, its not the most pleasant experience, people who eat it should be made to see how its made tho. personally i think its delicious but thats just me. There seems to be some methods of making stuff that people seem to ignore such as veal farming, but thats widely available.
You're right, there are loads of very questionable methods of "farming". I could reel off a list of repulsive practices, but foie gras is mentioned as part of that sandwich.
I know it's been made for years, but really, what difference does that make? With all the information now freely available on how it gets to your plate I don't see how people talk themselves round to thinking the horrendous suffering of an animal is less important than their desire to eat something yummy for their dindins. They obviously haven't scratched the surface of the practices used to produce it, but would probably be too hedonistic to care anyway. :yeees:
Also Oxfam have absolutely loads of money - if you want to make a difference then i'd give the cash to a smaller charity where it will be more appreciated.
Not that i'm dissing oxfam that much but the rest of us can't afford to have massive advertising campaigns.....
i once saw a programme on tv about the making of gras, and it was quite graphic, i have however eaten it since and feel comfortable with it, i guess its all down to personal opinion.
but anyway, back to the sandwich
I'd rather have an £85 easter egg. Now that might last me a week. :chin:
Bottom line of my opinion is that I think it's decadent, though if a person can't see past the actual slice of bread and piece of meat to the underlying principle then they probably won't agree.
I will concede that I love sourdough bread, but not as part of a sandwich. :yuck:
And ain't that the truth!
Which charity do you work for, just out of interest (and if you don't me asking..)?
Yeah, could never eat something like that without some kind of spread on it
buying a sandwich for £85 is clearly not worth it,you may just as well throw the money in the street!
your just basically saying,"i'm a rich cunt with no morals,and don't give a fuck!".
ive nothing against rich people, but i hate twats that are arogant with it and buying that sandwich i believe makes that statement.
