Force feeding ducks only to get a small, earthy flavored piece of meat with the consistency of mashed potatoes

Why the fuck do people go crazy over foie gras?

It tastes good

It's best in small quantities, not with other meat. That plate looks fucking gross, looks like something they'd serve to a retarded casino gambler in vegas or macau

Is that chocolate sauce on cheese?

because it's fucking delicious.

Also where on earth are you coming up with the idea of "a small piece of meat"? A whole piece of foie gras is massive.

it's effectively the highest form of umami in the western world

Confirmed for not having actually tasted it.

That fucking dried out cheese sliver with dried balsamic vinegar smeared all over it.

It's clearly a balsamic reduction.

>foie gras
>umami
Retard.

yea

Foie gras is super fatty and rich.

ALL meat contains glutamates, which is the reason why they taste meaty and savoury.

Fast fingers can't make up for a slow brain, moron. Educate yourself.

>Small
Not really
I guess that's because it's exotic, but living in South Western France, it's considered as a delicacy among others. It's tasty, expensive and mostly eaten during festivites (A staple of christmas food) but it's all a matter of context.
Nah, foie gras goes well with other meats. Its fat gives a lot of taste to beef when cooked together. Maybe you're thinking of the one that looks like a smooth paté, but that's usually not the one that's being cooked. Foie gras entier, like pic related, is.

Retard.

cause its made by the french

elaborate because as it stands you are patently incorrect

The truth is that you can strawman the fuck out of any food item. This especially applies to delicacies-- they are more susceptible to "muh __" due to hype and the painstaking efforts behind them.

It all depends on how cynical you are.

It's made of geese, not ducks.

>meat
Liver ain't meat

geese... my god
its one of the most luxurious, rich and buttery animal products known to men

can be either

used to be exclusively geese, now its mostly duck because its cheaper and easier to mass produce. Foie gras from geese is more expensive.
frenchman here.

Really makes ya think uh

How about you stop being a huge fucking bender yes?
