Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of vegetarian restaurant Dirt Candy in New York city, has received PETA’s prize of $10,000 for creating the best tasting vegetarian dish to taste like real foie gras.
Cohen beat out 37 other chefs for the top prize for a substitute where geese aren’t painfully force fed through tubes until their livers swell several times the normal size.
Cohen’s vegan version of foie gras is a mushroom mousse, made with portobellos, soy milk, vegan margarine, and onions, and has been on Dirty Candy’s menu for awhile.
It’s a safe bet humans will voluntarily stuff themselves with this appetizer until their bellies expand in size.
