Why being against Foie gras is the dark side.

I've tried it a couple of times, but never could get into it. One of those things where the texture + temperature just put me way off.

There are other ways to eat it, maybe I'll try that some time.

What ways have you tried it?

Probably only had a torchon or something; uninitiated should probably start with a pan-seared piece. A little easier to get into that way in my opinion.

Foie Gras is delicious. However, if you're looking for something that keeps forever, is incredibly tasty, and far cheaper, that you can eat on bread, by itself, etc - look into making some pork rillettes. I'm not suggesting that will ever replace the meat-buttery flavor of foie gras, but you can make some rillettes and keep them in the back of the fridge for damn near 6 months if they manage to not get eaten first.

Duck rillettes too! So good!
