Who here likes Foie Gras?

not a fan. don't like the texture, and when you find out what you're eating (and how it got to your plate)....no thanks.

Sorry, I love it. Pretty much hate all other forms of liver though.

To make up for it on a karmic scale? I don't tend to eat much veal.

 

Plenty of stuff is far less ethical, Chilean Sea Bass anyone - 90% of the population of Patagonian tooth fish taken in under 10 years.

I feel the same way about Foie gras as I do about Mink Coats. Its a farmed animal, we farm animals to use them for food and clothing.

Pretty much everyone in america eats regular supermarket eggs and chicken, these are kept in exactly the same kind of crappy circumstances.

I prefer free-range or wild food generally because it tastes better and have no problem eating something I fished or shot myself.

A proper Foie Gras pan fried with a chilled glass of Chateau D'Yquem is really quite divine - its like the famous breakfast quote about the pig and the chicken, the Goose was "committed"

 

love it

 

Ana Mandara in San Francisco has the greatest foie gras ever! It has truffle oil and mangoes http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/VOnBbQNvGHa054lMcnVVTQ?select=xfZrplrdKuyiLZif5aqh_g

 

Love it.

Best memories of my life were traveling in Bordeaux and Périgord region of France for foie.

 

There's a difference between foie gras and pate de foie gras. Most of the stuff in the US is pate de foie gras which is not nearly as rich and buttery as the real deal, and can have more than just the goose or duck liver. I get the real stuff every chance I get. I believe the stuff in France is regulated, but can't recall for certain.

 

Well done it's a treat, mmhhhhh

 

foie gras or any other pate is delicious.

 

From the last time I tried it all I can remember is a thick iron/blood taste coating my mouth for what seemed like hours. Is this a sign something was wrong with it. I recall trying it other times and it not being as bad but I don't think I ever cared for it.

 

Love it! Here is a good book on the topic: http://www.amazon.com/Foie-Gras-Wars-000-Year-Old-Delicacy/dp/1416556680/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249341893&sr=8-1

 

Yes, I like it.

 

if that's the flavor that you recall then I'm inclined to think you did not have fois gras. What you probably had was pate of some sort (probably pork).

 

+1

 

I would never try it after watching the video....thats just cruel.

 

Love it but it's a heart attack on a plate.

Only liver I will eat.

 

LOVE IT!!!!!!

 

Extra for me, please...

 

love it!

i dont like other forms of liver.

 

+1000, You're the man!

 

I love any form of organ meat. Kidneys, testicles, livers, stomachs, tongue, intestines, hearts, thymus glands.... pretty much anytime I see offal on the menu I must order it. Any fool can cook a sirloin or filet; it takes real talent to prepare offal in a tasty manner. Still need to try some brains. No sense in letting perfectly good animal product go to waste.
