Pic of the day - La Foire au Gras




La gourmandise, ce n'est pas manger trop, c'est prendre du plaisir à mangerAlors qu'il n'y a aucune raison de s'interdire le plaisir de manger, de boire, de converser, d'écouter de la musique, de voyager.


Gourmandise does not mean overindulgence, it means taking pleasure in eating. This way there is no reason to forbid the enjoyment of food, of drink, of conversation, of listening to music, of traveling.


- Michel Onfray






Paul's pay day plat du jour:-


Succulent filet of trout sauteed in butter and topped with tender morcels of lightly fried foie gras. The dish is complemented with a rich, buttery, citrous spiked foie gras reduction and served with a simple salad of julienned spinach and fresh raspberries. 


Nothing wrong with a little carnivorous indulgence every once in a while, right?

  1. I've never had foie gras. What does it taste like?

  2. Still not too sure how I feel about it. Kind of tasted like expensive little pieces of nothingness to be honest. Maybe I'll have to give it another go sometime.
