Ingredient appreciation — what makes Foie Gras special

What sets Foie Gras apart is the handling of cream. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the elegantly balanced result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The a formal dinner party atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Champagne as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Foie Gras is the place to start.
