CHICAGO — Chicago has repealed a 2-year-old ban on foie gras. 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.
