Yes, I thought of that when I ordered it. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I was very surprised. Even though it was much like the fine delicacy I heard it was I still had visions of the unpalatable beef liver until I tried it. Now I know better. It actually seems to melt in one's mouth as you eat it.
As to your link, I have no idea what the quality of packaged fois gras is, but I experienced it freshly prepared at a high end restaurant staffed by French chefs in Montreal.
Cheers.
Hello Passionné
What was the entire meal ?
French chef in Montreal must of been amazing ?

Mmm just thinking about dimsum with stewed honeycomb beef tripe and braised chicken feet. Nasty bits of the animal cooked to perfection.

That gallery of dimsum is pornographic! Best thing about Vancouver is the sheer volume of quality and diversity of Asian food available.

1: Refried beans. We're in Mexico, my buddy is loving them, tells me I have to try them. They look like shit, smell worse, and I'm only guessing but I'd say they taste worse.
2: Battered Duck feet. Chinese friends took me to a "real" Chinese restaurant. There was lots of other sketchy stuff. Never again.
3: Terry's Dark Chocolate Lemon. They don't make these anymore, but my mom loved them. Imagine sucking on a lemon. Yummy.

Just curious how good are the French boulangeries and patisseries are in Vancouver? The first thing I get to eat when I land in Montreal is a good croissant and a nice baguette with some butter. Honestly no good baked goods in Calgary.

I don't know for bakery but you made me think of Big T's BBQ in Calgary, they have smoked cheesecake and it's AMAZING !
Hi Julia
That smoked cheesecake sounds deliciously decadent. I will have to indulge on that cheesecake soon. Thanks.
If you like desserts, you must try the pudding chomeur at au Pied de Cochon. They source the maple syrup from their sister restaurant Cabane a Sucre.

Sweetbreads - didn't enjoy the texture at all and the reduction, while tasty, didn't help much
Black pudding (blood sausage) - not a fan
Menudo - Mexican soup made with tripe (sheep/beef stomach) - can't say I disliked because the broth was delicious but not really a fan of tripe
Turtle soup - surprisingly enjoyable
When I was younger I used to work with Vietnamese guys and they would come to work with pretty exotic lunches. Basically they let no part of the animal meat go to waste. Very typical of Asian countries it seems.
