>force feeding ducks only to get a small, earthy flavored

It tastes good

It's best in small quantities, not with other meat. That plate looks fucking gross, looks like something they'd serve to a retarded casino gambler in vegas or macau

Is that chocolate sauce on cheese?

>>8879758

because it's fucking delicious.

Also where on earth are you coming up with the idea of "a small piece of meat"? A whole piece of foie gras is massive.

>>8879758
it's effectively the highest form of umami in the western world

>>8879758
Confirmed for not having actually tasted it.

That fucking dried out cheese sliver with dried balsamic vinegar smeared all over it.

>>8880073
It's clearly a balsamic reduction.

Retard.

>>8880137
yea

>>8879758
Foie gras is super fatty and rich.

>>8880137
ALL meat contains glutamates, which is the reason why they taste meaty and savoury.

Fast fingers can't make up for a slow brain, moron. Educate yourself.

>Small
Not really
I guess that's because it's exotic, but living in South Western France, it's considered as a delicacy among others. It's tasty, expensive and mostly eaten during festivites (A staple of christmas food) but it's all a matter of context.

Nah, foie gras goes well with other meats. Its fat gives a lot of taste to beef when cooked together. Maybe you're thinking of the one that looks like a smooth paté, but that's usually not the one that's being cooked. Foie gras entier, like pic related, is.

Retard.

cause its made by the french

>>8880223
elaborate because as it stands you are patently incorrect

The truth is that you can strawman the fuck out of any food item. This especially applies to delicacies-- they are more susceptible to "muh __" due to hype and the painstaking efforts behind them.

It all depends on how cynical you are.

It's made of geese, not ducks.

>meat
Liver ain't meat

>>8879758
geese... my god
its one of the most luxurious, rich and buttery animal products known to men

>>8880772

can be either

used to be exclusively geese, now its mostly duck because its cheaper and easier to mass produce. Foie gras from geese is more expensive.
