Cold, seared or mi-cuit… in a terrine, in a flaky pastry, melting on top of a duck or baby pig… there are so many options.
“….there are so many options.”……yes, and I want to have them all!

I made sure to have foie gras for my last Paris meal before spending the summer in California. And will look forward to more upon the rentrée.
Political insanity to ban foie gras and leave battery chicken farming alone, not to mention other inhumane food raising practices.
Meanwhile, it’s really summer out here in California! Sun and all!
