I used to eat canned Foie Gras when I was with the French, it came in their field rations, along with a tiny bottle of Brandy and a full 20 pack of unfiltered Gauloises cigarettes, it was good.
I mix it with chicken livers, garlic and Worcestershire sauce and a little milk. Cream it...on crackers with an onion slice.....really really thin.
They ever stick any Rillettes in there?
Sounds yummy but a little goes a LONG way.
Very rich.
Sweat and sour water buffalo is yummy in Kathmandu.
But, so kill me, so is fois gras.
I’m with you - it’s a state issue...

Seems like there’s a case to be made that this is a straightforward violation of the actual intent of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
I think it is AFU that the fed shut down raw milk production here in Tx.
Milk,Cheese.
But hey sell us that plastic crap all day long.

If I ever got a Vietnamese chick, I would be all like, WOMAN. MAKE ME A SAMMICH.
I might not eat it myself, but I'd never ban ya.
I don’t necessarily agree with the ban, but I don’t see how it violates the US Constitution.
That’s really what the federal gov’t is to be - external defense and treaties and disputes between states.
Otherwise, do nothing.
SACRAMENTO — Seemingly an afterthought, the last appetizer listed on the menu at Restaurant Thir13en is a brioche that, at $21, may sound overpriced even if it is “house made” and comes with strawberry rhubarb purée and a bacon chip. Accompanying it, though, are “complimentary seared foie gras and foie panna cotta.”
I agree on all counts!

I never saw it, and it sounds like a very salty dish that I would have loved.
Just figured they may have because it is a preserving technique.

Never heard of one, and there are no Vietnamese food places within many miles of here-my fav treat from the deli out here is a wholewheat turkey, cheese and veggie pita, no dressing-I don’t eat any processed food, and the filling in the that bah mi looks good-what is the meat?
