Much to the chagrin of animal rights activists—and the delight of foodies—California chefs can legally serve foie gras once again. A judge overturned a law that banned the sale of fatty duck or goose liver, undoing a 2012 victory for animal welfare advocates.

Foie gras joins the list of formerly illegal foods, such as Sichuan pepper, but the U.S. still bans a host of foods for ethical and health reasons. Still, as was the case with California’s former ban, when state and local governments pass laws regulating certain foods, loopholes start to appear—which is why eating dog is legal in 44 states.
