Side note: grammatically "fattened liver" should be preferred over "fatted liver".

  For the fattening of animals intended as food it’s typically accepted grammar to use “fatted” as in a “fatted pig”. Same as “datums” is correct in some contexts.

    > it’s typically accepted grammar to use “fatted” as in a “fatted pig” no it ain't, it's extremely out-of-mode

      Really though, fatted is the word; and in this context, it is the more direct translation of gras.

        literal translations are inhuman. write what your audience will understand, not what the isomorphic pair based on linguistic common ancestor is unless being right is more important than communicating effectively
