...is a freshly cooked slice of liver. Paté de Fois Gras is a spread, traditionally made from goose livers and served with crackers or bread.

it's what stanbee and sonnet said and I'll add that Foie Gras is one of the nastiest things I have ever tasted in my entire life!!! bleck!

Yes, it does NOT sound very yummy!!!!!!!!

I love paté...just have to wear rubber gloves to touch the liver. LOL Made paté once...too much trouble. I buy it now; it's really delicious. If you like liverwurst, you'll like paté.

Liver was alaways an exit cue.

In Venice before turgid canals, I ordered it by accident.

In my plate: fresh, very thinly sliced calf liver, uhllll, sauteed with burnishedn onion slices, Vermouth, butter. Intimidated with my ignorance I tasted it faintly....mmmMMMM.

Chefs aspire to create dreams of your food nightmares. Some ascend.

When FG is a little high it is edible but not at its best for me. Gall-taste. Restaurants occaisionally try to pass it, nasty. It is expensive. Besides certain advanced lovers of "frumunda" cheese etc. won't mind.

It is ok to return this to the kitchen! They depend on your taste, ignorance or politeness. Even intimidation in a temple of Gastronomy. Worked in a few.

Once ate FG in Sauce demi-glace, Jersey bluberries, Cognac, Port , sweet butter to finish. Would have convinced anyone in the Temple. Even me.

I'm not much into "fancy" foods. I like chicken, beef, and turkey. Oh fish too, but PLEASE cook it, none of the raw sushi for me.

Kitty(who knows kitties are supposed to like raw fish)pal
