Your fois gras is about to become even more difficult to obtain, SU. I read recently where the only two remaining farms in the US to produce fois gras are being forced to close by pressure from animal rights activists. (For those who may not know, fois gras is a special type of duck liver that is produced by force-feeding the ducks with grain far beyond what they normally eat. They do it by shoving a tube down the ducks' throats.)

I have only eaten fois gras once in the US, so I can't answer your question. All I know is that the few times I went to France, just about everything I ate that was made from duck tasted heavenly. I do remember the "duck liver pate" was terrific. Not sure if it was technically "fois gras". Perhaps it was.
