It has been said that to eat fois gras the way the French make it is itself worth a trip to France. I think there is a lot of truth to this saying. (Regrettably, few here could possibly have enjoyed it properly because it requires a rich, full bodied red wine as an accompaniment.)

I've enjoyed fois gras many times in the U.S. and in France. There they make this mouse or pate style of fois gras with this indescribable rich and buttery flaver. Here invariably they've brought me a dish with something that resembles the actual organ sliced thin and sauteed in butter and seasonings. I like this kind a lot, but not nearly as much as the way they do it in France. I don't understand why you can't get the kind I eat in France here. The closest place I've seen it is in a little French restaurant in Vancouver B.C. But that's three hours from my house on a good traffic day.

Which do you prefer?
