Re: Foie Gras

A true delicacy. Haven't had it in a few years. For those that haven't had it, think of the best ribeye steak you've ever had, and intensify the flavor by 10.

Re: Foie Gras

I've never bought it, only had it in restaurants

There is a cookign show of a guy in Montreal, and he made a seared foie gras, and put it on bread with homeade almond butter and homeade jelly. Wierd, but intriguing!

Will do. I'm on the hunt for a good source. I've seen a few gourmet stores online that have some foie, but I really don't have any idea if they are good.

If I get a good source, I will let you know Tyr.

A port wine reduction sauce to drizzle over some foie would be my first dish:dr

I also love that great buttery texture you get with foie. Rich stuff for sure.

Re: Foie Gras

For people looking to try Foie Gras, try getting some as an appetizer at a nice steakhouse. From what I've seen, a lot of good steakhouses will have foie as an appetizer. I was at Benny's Chop house with my brother-in-law about 2 months ago to celebrate his wedding, and they had some.

edit: still there on the menu, Foie Gras with forest mushrooms, crispy pork belly huckleberry jus

Re: Foie Gras

I'm not a fan of it! I was excited about trying it after watching a couple TV chief's raving about it, so I waited until I was in France to try it. I had it twice at two different restaurants and I didn't like it either times. I guess it's just not my cup of tea.

Now that seems interesting. Do they manage to work it in with anything in a more fusion style? And if so where is this place?

This is akin to a non-smoker walking up to us cigar smokers and starting in on a rant about why we should not be smoking cigars and how unhealthy it is for us. I know I don't appreciate when people do that and I'm sure you feel the same way when smoking a cigar.

I am an animal lover. Our house is like a zoo most of the time, we have a multitude of animals. However, if your concern for the welfare of animals used for meat in America prohibits you from eating Foie.... I would also suggest skipping all meat commercially available in supermarkets. One trip to farms and slaughterhouses can prove this point.

Thanks

see, eating foie gras even makes you a mind-reader. well said Tyr ;)

Re: Foie Gras

I would not try it, cause I am afraid I might like it.:tu Seriously I probably wouldn't like it since the only liver I like is Cow and Deer.

Re: Foie Gras

it's definitely nothing like cow or deer liver, which are more gamey...Foie Gras is more creamy..and decadent.. and it almost melts in your mouth. It has an almost Buttery texture ..Creamy..Rich..Smooth.. god damn this thread, jonesing now!

Re: Foie Gras

I loved it the two times I have had it. I must say watching it happen is pretty sad especially when they hold there mouth closed so they cannot throw the food up.
