A question for Hellfire (or anyone else who may know)
 
I am doing research for another article, and was wondering, since I know you live(d?) in France and are a fan of fois gras, do you happen to know the ballpark price per pound for the really good stuff?

Thank you :)

I am trying to track down, specifically, French Goose fois gras (looking for what is considered "the best of the best") and it is fucking HARD. No one wants to even give a ballpark estimate for price.

Are you looking for the price in Euros in France or in USD here in America?

Not being snide - I work with a couple of Frenchies and I'll ask them.

Well, this one was REALLY hard. I went to google and typed in French Goose fois gras and got these results:

http://www.splendidpalate.com/produc...se-foigrag.htm

You can extrapolate the price of a pound from those.

Here's a page with many different brands of French Goose Foi Gras, with prices for many different weights:

Oy, I'm exhausted after all that extensive research.

Either, I can do the exchanges myself if needed

Thank you mr holmes, but the processed, cooked, pate'd price is pretty different from the raw ingredient, which is what I need.

I'm not google-retarded. :p

So my Frenchie coworker has an email out to her dad who still lives in France and makes foie gras every year. I'll let you know as soon as she hears back. :D
