I don't think that foie gras tastes like liver, though. Salty fish eggs are right out, although I like the roe that's often used in sushi--that's tasty and un-over-salted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think that foie gras tastes like liver, though.
To me it still has that tell-tale vaguely metallic taste in there that makes me gag. I don't like seafood at all, but I can deal with the flavor a lot better than with any of the innard type foods.
The only food that pings me worse, no matter how minute a quantity, is broccoli. I can taste broc in just about ANYTHING it's in.

Aw, Frank, we were doing so well on similar food preferences, but if you don't like any seafood and you don't like broccoli, I'm afraid it would never work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, if you saw this headline (front page of MSNBC), what would you think?
Iran to 'join the club of counties' with nukes, leader says
Would you think that Iran's leader said that they're gonna get nuclear weapons? But that's not what he said.
If you click on the link, you get a more accurate headline: Iran says will soon join nuke technology 'club'
See, what he meant was that Iran has started processing uranium, supposedly for nuclear power (they'd really have to ramp production way up to get nuclear bomb material anytime soon).
So was that first headline a mistake, or intentionally misleading?

I'm sure it is intentionally misleading to make the story sound more dramatic.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
This all reminds me that I need to pick up some chopped liver and matzo at Canter's for Passover tomorrow.

Oh, the other day I was in the store and saw a box that I thought said Tim-Tam. As I was lunging for what promised to be yummy chocolate things, I got a good look at the label - Tam-Tam brand matzohs. sigh.
