Foie gras on the menu and way too many animal products on the menu. Pricey but delicious 5 course vegan dinner

I won't be coming back to the place until they take foie gras off of the menu. All animals that die for our 15 minute palate pleasure is a crime, however, this is just plain overly cruel. So much so my non-vegan guest walked out of the restaurant after course #3 of 5. The service/staff were excellent. The 5 course vegan dinner was very good. I like quality over quantity and the portions were good. The overall prices of everything, even alcohol were way over priced. For the 5 course meal, at $125 per person ($25 dollars per course) I would reserve it for special occasions.

Pros: kitchen and server staff accommodating, friendly, great 5 course vegan dinner, can order vegan courses a la carte

Cons: small # vegan options, too many animal products, even drinks had egg, foie gras should be outlawed

I understand and agree with your frustration, but the "fifteen minutes of pleasure" argument that I hear so often these days can discourage people from going vegan. It risks making them think that going vegan would mean never enjoying good food again. I tasted foie gras in my prevegan days, and it was nothing special. As a vegan, I enjoy food a lot more than I did before going vegan. I eat foods I would never have tried, and I go to restaurants I would never have known existed. I also think that my taste buds are much more sensitive now than before I was vegan. No one should fear that going vegan would mean losing out on the pleasure of eating.

Vegan just means to be against animal cruelty. And going vegan for any other reason, health, environment, diet simply isn't enough as people don't take it seriously and research the cruelty enough, let alone speak for the animals in hell. I've know in the closet vegans my whole life, I didn't know were vegan until I went vegan and activist and then suddenly they popped up. People I worked with for decades for e.g. no vegan who is FTA would ever say "15 minutes of cruelty" is too harsh and when we're showing the cruelty in our Anonymous for the Voiceless cube of truths, we do ask people if the 15 minutes is worth it. It is the most efficient and effective way to help people go vegan.

Food is not enough to make anyone go vegan and anyone saying the "15 minutes" will deter them still have fragile ego and sensitivity issues to deal with as spite is not a good enough reason to still pay for animal abuse. I love food and real food (plants) is delicious but we must show people the why to go vegan, and the how will come naturally because they will not want to keep hurting animals. That's what drove me to be vegan and a voice for the animals (which helps others go vegan)
