Foie Gras - Page 2

mosesbotbol · 12-04-2008, 05:02 AM

Do not like Foie Gras at all. Even had it in Lyon France, had it stuffed in filet mignon, had it other ways... Yuck. I do not like irony tastes in meat like liver or organ meats... I can certainly appreciate it, but it's just does not sit well with me.

Mind numbingly perfect cover. I would like to be served this at least once a year.

Foie Gras, Roasted marrow bones, great french bread (slightly toasted possibly with some garlic butter optional). Side of several possible stouts or ales.

Heart attack optional as an aperitif.

Roasted MArrow Bones, oh man, know you are talking. Best $2/lbs you can spend at your butcher! Beef butter, all you need to know!

Had a nice osso buco awhile back and was a little freaked out when they handed me a marrow spoon. Turned out to be one of the most delicious things I've eaten, 'beef butter' is a perfect description.

I'm not a fan of eating organs, so I pass on foie gras.

Foie Gras is truly incredible. I didn't know about it until coming to culinary school, but man do I love it. It is simply perfect, in all its forms. The restaurant I work at always has it on the menu, either as a hot dish or cold item. Right now we're serving it as a torchon with a light salad made of cara cara orange, poached rhubarb, and micro greens with a light vinaigrette. It's just amazing and delicious. At school, we put a lobe of foie gras in a bag with a whole beef tenderloin. Then we cooked it sous-vide, and the tenderloin was so tender, perfectly cooked, and the entire thing tasted like foie gras. Incredible!!

Las, if you ever want to cook it at your own place, D'Artagnan is probably the best place to get good foie, and from there the only thing you have to do is not mess it up!

JJG · 05-06-2009, 01:55 PM

love the stuff!

We have a big deli/liquor store in downtown Houston that usually keeps Foie Gras at the Deli counter. I normally get a 1" think slice and just eat it plain with water crackers.

as far as the cruelty thing, I hate to say it but I know it's inhumane and I eat it anyway!

Thought this would be an area for a first post. I am in the high end white-table cloth Meat/Specialty goods busines, and I absolutely adore Foie Gras. I sell around 300 pounds of Hudson Valley's Grade 'A' fresh stuff a week and I eat some too!

Not sure if anyone has seen it, but Anthony Bourdain has done two major specials on Foie Gras. One (on no reservations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABeWlY0KFv8) was short and one was an hour long special explaining it.

I have had complaints and threats for selling the product, but still love it!

Thought I would revive another "blast from the past" thread as I will be dining on some delicious Foie Gras this weekend in celebration of our newly purchased home.

And I don't know if I mentioned it, but earlier in the year when my wife and I were in Vegas we ate at Mario Batali's CarneVino restaurant. I dined on sweetbreads and Foie and various other types of offal to my heart's content. It was epic!

Sounds like an amazing dining experience Tyr. I LOVE Foie gras. It would be on my last meal menu for sure.

I saw some earlier sources posted, but has anyone bought foie online recently from any good sources? I'd love to try searing some for myself at home.

I haven't bought any online in the last year or so. If you find a good source let me know, I'm dying for some at home as well

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

mmblz · 08-11-2011, 07:34 AM

yum. had some a couple of weeks ago that was terrific.

goalie204 · 08-11-2011, 08:14 AM

have tried it a few times since my last post of not trying it, decadent stuff

Noodles · 08-11-2011, 08:23 AM

Tried it, never liked it. Except for this one, I almost always like anything that I can't pronounce properly.
