Chicago overturns ban on foie gras in restaurants

     CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago has repealed a two-year-old ban on foie
gras (fwah-GRAH').
     The City Council passed the measure Wednesday to again allow
restaurants to serve the delicacy.
     The food is made from duck and goose livers. Supporters of the
ban complain that birds are force-fed to make their livers bigger.
     Mayor Richard M. Daley had called the measure the "silliest
ordinance" ever passed by the council. The ban went into effect in
August 2006.
