Dan Barber: A surprising parable of foie gras
And off course I thought; Booooooorrrriiinng. What could possibly be interesting about a presentation about a type of food that I have never eaten and aren't in any hurry to either. And then the title of the talk is so not inspiring. And then I read the description:
At the Taste3 conference, chef Dan Barber tells the story of a small farm in Spain that has found a humane way to produce foie gras. Raising his geese in a natural environment, farmer Eduardo Sousa embodies the kind of food production Barber believes in.
Ok, still not very interesting.. But I thought, ok I want to be a more balanced person with interests in many different subjects and truely general knowledge and understanding of the world, so I really should listen to this. Not because it is interesting but because I should practice what I profess to believe in and at the very least I get to say that I listened.. Boy were my instincts off on this one.
This may very well be one of the most interesting, inspiring and enjoyable, yes even funny presentations I have listened to in a long time. Watch this!
