That is a massive shame. I guess I will have to return to France to eat it then. Australia has failed in that department.

Gabrielle, I’m afraid you just can’t get decent FG in Australia. You can get tins and pasteurized but it just dosn’t match the fresh.

Can you please tell me where there foie gras producers near Sydney are? I just came back from Christmas with family in France, and ate the most amazing home made fois gras made by the owner of a pub in Mirecourt in the North East. Am wanting to find some here!

Hey Hans, you’re not the first to notice my terrible spelling, especially late evening after a glass or two when my brain moves faster than my fingers.

Guys, I know you’d love the details but it seems I’ve seriously pissed-off these “diamond geezers” and I could be losing my own supply and be forced to slum it with ortolan. BTW I should confess that I don’t really have any d’Yquem but a rather nasty bottle of something sweet I misguidedly picked-up somewhere near Orange and should really be laid down and avoided.

I’ll want that address next time I’m in the area. Last trip to France we stayed with people in the South West, who made their own foie gras from locally purchased livers – it was the best I’ve had. Do you know Air New Zealand recently removed Foie Gras from it’s Business Class menu because of ONE complaint.

that’s d’Yquem right? Not d’quem. You should share the details with me just for that!

Yeah, I liked the tram and the iris with the glowing globes. i thought the footballers looked very uncomfortable walking down the Yarra, like their shorts were chaffing or something. i did see the post… I’ve been lurking rather than commenting but will put this right.

the duck thing was completely lost on me (and most others too i imagine) but i did like the tram. Have you seen Myer windows? Check out my most recent post.

I’m up for it too Ed, is there some kind of secret handshake or forelock tugging required? Does she sell the magrets as well? Haven’t got D’quem, but there is something else nice squirreled away in the cellar.
