 > Yes, foie gras. They can get around the Ca state ban on fattened duck

 > dubbed the Foie Bomb. They'll be giving them away, while supplies last, at 
 > their Campbell and where-I-live locations.
 > 
 > And as if risking protests by animal rights activists weren't enough, Psycho 
 > Donuts also will flirt with danger by offering these goodies with a pointed "
 > pipette" of fig, honey and balsamic vinegar gastrique meant to be injected into 
 > the doughnut while it is being consumed. (Eaters, consider yourselves warned.) 
 > A fried sage leaf will top each doughnut.
