I've never even tried this stuff. Has anybody here ever eaten it? Is it any good?
It's absolutely delicious.
I've never bought any - because, to be honest, I really don't like the way the geese are force fed to make it. So I don't support the industry by buying it.
But when a friend served it at a dinner party, I wasn't going to be rude and not eat it.
It was yum.
It's delicious, but it can just as easily be made from regular goose livers. There is no need to treat the animal this way, except to yield a larger liver (more money).
Delicious.
My friend from France made some for Thanksgiving a few years ago. It was weird tasting, but I ate it anyway since he prepared it from scratch rather than just going to the local gourmet place.
Can't say I'd ever go out of my way to buy it. But then, I put mustard on my fries ...
Like caviar, it is a bit of a bizarre concept the first time you try it, but it is an acquired taste. It is one of my favorite things in the world to eat. Like pate, only more so.
Yes and it's incredibly delicious. I'm sure the animal abuse angle is largely exaggerated. I believe most producers have given up on the practice of force-feeding the geese. The best pate and fois gras is made from a combination of duck and pork liver. Goose-liver pate is a traditional french delicacy served mostly at Christmas. Bon appetite.
Is it any good?
