 I love Foie Gras, but only when it's seared. It's to die for when it's done properly, but recently I've had some served cold that is really uninspired. Any one else love this delicious but terrible for you dish?

I would eat foie every day if I could. I like it every which way possible, I even admit to eating foie-in-a-can in my poor Parisian student days. Add a little apricot jam and it tastes nearly (nearly, but not quite) 5-stars.

 Recently, there has also been a lot of debate around the production of foie gras. There are a lot of producers that make foie gras in pretty unethical ways...fattening ducks until they are sick and their livers are bursting out the seems. In this way, foie gras has gotten a bad name, but there are also producers that really care for their ducks....the problem is knowing the difference...and, of course, knowing where you food comes from...

 I guess the concept of it is a little strange to me, and if you have gross foie gras, well, it's gross. But delicious foie gras is AMAZING!

Foie Gras is amazing.....but I admit...I do feel bad about its process.  So, I tend to stay away.

 the interesting thing about chicken liver is that it's soooo cheap! Usually several dollars per pound less than dark meat, if you can stomach it, you get to eat more of the chicken AND eat for less....
