Foie gras has been removed from the menu of a pub in Derbyshire following a campaign by animal activists.
David and Samantha McHattie, who run The Bridge Inn in Calver, said protests and online opposition against their use of the food had amounted to "bullying".
The production of foie gras - which is produced from livers of force-fed ducks or geese - is illegal in the UK, but it is still a legal ingredient.
Mrs McHattie said: "The emotional toll was just too much. My sister has been abused, my mother, my 80-year-old father, and one of our customers has been called horrendous names and had photographs of her children posted on an animal activist website."
Nottingham Animal Rights, one of the protest organisers, posted, external: "After a long campaign with the pub... activists have managed to get another establishment to see sense and remove the item.
"We do not see this as a victory for us, but a victory for the poor defenceless animal involved."
