“Foie gras” has the consistency of a paste, and therefore cannot be allowed.

I know only what I have seen in the James Bond movies about foie gras, and they depict it as a paste on a cracker. I have never claimed otherwise. Foie gras could be shaped like flying cars for all I know, so admitting that it is not a paste is meaningless from me. I wouldn’t know a good foie gras if it jumped up and ripped my leg off, or a bad one for that matter.
But you did claim otherwise. You say that you were not a real fan, which implies that you have seen and tasted it. You say that it "has the consistency of paste" as a matter of fact statement. But now your total knowledge basis is what you have seen in James Bond movies?
You miss my point and that is because of your mindset. Foie gras is not a threat to aviation security. You are coming from a perspective that everything is dangerous until proven otherwise. I am not worried that when I buy foie gras at the grocery store that it is going to explode in my shopping cart. Should I be?
