I love Foie Gras. I have local market that carries it regularly only a couple of blocks away. Good Stuff!

On the iron chef last night the ingredient was foie gras. Besides that episode, they use the stuff all the time. Before yesterday I didn't know what it was (I still don't know what half the stuff they use is)

Gourmet or not..the dining on organs thing, just kind of disgusts me. Except for a good old fashioned, fried hog nut every once in a while, I'd rather have a slider from White Castle.

They told me you munched nuts. I always figured it was in the context of, well you know, like Siegfried and Roy and men's figure skating :whistling:

Thanks for the replies. I knew how this stuff was made...even saw a program on some French families that have been doing this for generations. I guess at the cottage industry level, it doesn't seem so cruel. Now a chicken factory, that's cruel. But that said, I still eat chicken.

I'll poke around and see what I can find. I wouldn't buy it for myself, but for my parents...well, when they were young, they ate bark and bugs during the war, so I figure I can give them something nice.

I agree Foie Gras was done for generations and is no more cruel then any other animal food process IMO. Besides who cares when it tastes so great :sign:

Believe it or not Wilkey they are having a huge discussion on passing a law in Chicago that would outlaw the usage & consumption of it. Not to say that the Chefs around here together with people are heavily split on this topic while I'm just besides myself that this is even on the priority radar of the local government. you would think that they have more pressing issues on their plate (pun intended) then Foie Gras.

That said I had a few local sources where I would occasionally score some despite the exuberant pricing, but now facing prohibition they are harder then ever to obtain. :angry:

On a more positive note I scoured my fridge and found my last reserve that i bought in Europe while returning from my Xmas vacation. This pure FG is by far my favorite over any pates available. I even took a snapshot (just for you & probably as the things are going for the future records)

Let me see what I can finagle something with my sources ??? in the next few days if nothing I will send you this one.
