I forgot who I was talking to about foie gras, but I saw this article, and thought it was suiting.

Time to go to Canada to get some good foie gras! :bbq2:

Typically made of goose, I'm raising two big white ducks for Thanksgiving pate.

One duck is named "Thanks" and the other "Giving".

Other than the livers, I will deep fry these tasty fowls.

Happy food makes tasty food.

Is it worth it?

A truffle?

Like a soft nut or mushroom.

I've had it shaved on a pile of vertically stacked food at an expesive restaurant or two.

They use it on Iron Chef all the time.

The good ones are from Europe and they use pigs to root them out of the ground where they are buied.

Truffle oil goes for about $20.00 per ounce.

http://www.comcen.com.au/~mlsmet/Images/M%E9daillon%20without%20background.jpgPate de foie gras is expensive, but well worth it for a treat. Just like a tur-duc-hen at Thanksgiving, expensive, but wonderful to add some variety to your feast.

They often use dogs now because the pigs scarf them down before the farmer can get to them.

But pigs are the best at finding them.
