The Spanish Goose Whisperer

I’d heard Dan Barber mention an ethical foie gras producer he’d discovered during a panel discussion for the Brooklyn Book Festival in 2007 so I was excited to come across a talk he gave this winter where he elaborated on his encounter with Eduardo Sousa, the owner of the Pateria de Sousa.  I always associate Extramadura with drought and a barren landscape so I fell in love with the paradisiacal description of the farm.  But then I’m not a goose.
