<h1>A little bit about this unbelievable delicacy</h1>

Basically Foie Gras is the fattened live of a duck or goose. The liver of these animals is fattened due to the way the mother feeds its young. Foie Gras is extremely meaty. It has a rich flavor with a buttery taste. Foie Gras is considered a delicacy in the French culture. Foie Gras is solid white and can be prepared as a mousse, parfait, or pate. It generally tends to be served as a side for a red meat. There are many different ways to cook this meat, all of which have a unique flavor. If you want a taste of the French culture try Foie Gras. Don’t worry if you have had liver before and not enjoyed it because Foie Gras has a completely different flavor and taste then regular duck liver.  Serve it hot or cold, as a main dish or side dish you will enjoy this delicate, rich, buttery tasting meat.
