Gavage is defined as the practice of feeding a person or an animal against their will. Gavage is supplying a nutritional substance by means of a small plastic tube passed through the nose or mouth into the stomach, not explicitly 'forcibly'.
The ducks at Ferme Auberge are fed corn meal that is similar to a raw polenta. Due to the duck's natural metabolism, they must be fed twice a day and then be slaughtered shortly after their final feeding because they lose weight incredibly quickly. Whereas, new albums are released only on Tuesdays, these ducks are only slaughtered on Mondays...i'm sorry that was pretty tasteless.
You know what's not tasteless, these ducks' liver in my belly!
For those that want to see the actual feeding of the ducks...here you go:
After the ducks were fed, Pamela wanted a taste of gavage as well:
