I've eaten the stuff here and in France, and hated it in both countries. Of course, I'm not riproaring drunk when I try to eat it.
OTOH, I'm not too fond of eating sh.. either, so perhaps my lack of affinity for fecal matters disqualifies me from liking fois gras.

However, liver paste is still liver paste no matter what language articulates it. Chinese make some wonderful dishes, and I've enjoyed some exotic ones. However, we have to start with a basic meat or fish that's edible and that one should want to eat. If you've looked at the liver, you'd not be so fond of eating it. And that goes for brain as well. Just because somebody can make something barely edible, doesn't mean they should.

When I had fois gras (the American style as SU defined it - not the pate), it seemed pretty much like I was just eating fat sauteed in butter. I'm a big-spicy-bold-flavor type of guy (thus my fondness for Thai and Vietnamese cuisine) and fois gras just doesn't have enough flavor for me. I'll try the pate if I'm ever in France but I have no interest in eating the American style fois gras again.

In any case, if we ever dine together at a French restaurant, just pass the fois gras to me.

Do you ever eat French in Utah? I've been to La Caille, the Paris Bistro and a place in Park City that currently escapes me. I enjoyed all of the places, just wondering if you've found any place better.

First I Find out that I get dragged to ballet's just like SU and now I find that I agree with him about foie gras. If I ever start complaining that Fawn Brodie was born too early, somebody please slap me.
I have always found the French version of foie gras to be very, very good. IF you don't like it, you probably haven't had it. As to the goose or duck involved, I guess it's not too good for them, but a trip down I-5 in California with a view of the realtively humane stockyards near the Coalinga exit (Harris Ranch) where hundreds of cows stand in the hot sun in piles of their own exfrement day after day until slaughtered for fine dining, shows that the whole carnivore thing never goes well for the prey. Lebowski, I iwll arm wrestle you for Archaea's share.

Good french food is tough to get in Utah. I've been to La Caille and loved it, but it sure is expensive. I've had fois gras at Log Haven.
