>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 19:51:28 2021 No.17151882 Worth trying definitely. Probably not worth the price though.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 19:53:17 2021 No.17151890 If you really like pate yeah it might be worth it. It's just like a fattier more buttery pate. Not worth the money in my opinion but still very nice on toasted brioche with Jabuticaba jam

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 19:54:32 2021 No.17151895 >>17151701 No it sucks

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 23:22:11 2021 No.17152799 >>17151701 Like most "fancy" food, it's overhyped. It's so fatty that if I didn't know what I was eating I would have guessed it was straight up fat with a hint of liver.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 23:41:52 2021 No.17152886 >>17151701 It's really delicious. I was in Paris a few years back and ate foie like 4 times in the span of a week. It's so fucking bomb, been craving it ever since

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 23:56:17 2021 No.17152950 >>17151701 I guess. I find it disappointing for the price. it’s basically super fatty liver. I sometimes get it when it goes on sale at the local market. Shit is like $100/lbs.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 19 23:58:00 2021 No.17152959 >>17152950 No it isn’t.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 20 00:04:22 2021 No.17152977 >>17152959 it is literally $99/lbs at my local market.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 20 04:16:41 2021 No.17153757 >>17151701 If it's done correctly, of course. Actually, even if it's not done that well it's pretty good. At least buy it to piss off bleeding-heart idiots that keep getting it banned.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 20 12:00:55 2021 No.17154723 OP reporting back: tastes like fancy pate, or if spam went to an ivy league college opposed to a state school. fortunately only bought 1oz for $7. likely would not order again.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 20 14:33:34 2021 No.17155276 >>17154723 Thx for reporting. Sad. Anything else u ordered worth mentioning?

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 20 15:36:21 2021 No.17155556 >>17151701 up to you honestly, its nice if you get it done well but its just an app really

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 20 15:58:00 2021 No.17155657 Seared foie gras is hit or missed. If it's well prepared, it's delicious but it can be overly fat if not. Terrine is not great, I would consider it worth trying. Foie gras au torchon is very good and probably a safe bet.
