...foie gras

I went to eat dinner at the Prune for the Wednesday dinner lab with chef Benjamin Darnaud. It's so much fun going to these labs as the food and service is always exceptional! One of the first courses for this menu was foie gras. Surprisingly, this was my first time having foie gras and I REALLY enjoyed it! Foie gras is french for "fat liver". It is the liver of, in this case, a duck that has been specially fattened. It is soooo delicious. Mine was served with frozen sea buckthorn berries which gave it a fun texture and surprise in the mouth. Some of the people I was dining with weren't fans of how it was prepared but I was in love with it. This makes me want to go on a foie gras adventure as it excites me that there are better preparations out there. It was so buttery and rich...it kind of tasted like duck flavoured butter haha...I love when food is so good that it melts in your mouth, and this did just that...
