A question for Hellfire (or anyone else who may know)

Awesome, thank you :)

Oooooooooook. This is what I got back from her:

My dad says it’s about 35 euros a kilo for the “lobe” (which is the raw material) but I forgot if it’s for duck or goose (duck is cheaper than goose by about 10 euros a kilo).

My dad is a professional so he may be getting better prices than what you can get as a particular (what I found on the Internet was more expensive) but I know he buys the “good stuff.”

Hope that helps! Mind if I ask what you're researching for?

I've been away for a bit, so I'm sorry I didn't answer earlier. Chronogirl is right. A goose "lobe" can vary from 35 to 55 euros/kilo. It's pretty difficult to find actually, since most foie gras here (raw or already prepared) is made out of duck liver.
