Hi. Recently on a pod-cast I heard about an exclusive French dish
which I don't how to spell (since I don't know French). If i want to
spell from the sounds of English letters it would be something like
"Faugra". I also know that it is very fancy and exclusive and it is
made from chicken liver and onions. I would be grateful if someone
knows how to spell it so I can find some information on it from the i-
net. Just using the description I can't seem to find anything about
it.
Greetings

ORIGIN French.

Yabut, foie gras is the fattened liver of a duck or a goose from which
a pté is sometimes made. I've eaten both.

Duck foie gras is my favourite - served on crackers with a pinch of Dead
Sea salt (optional).

It's great to have French cooks in my family ;-)

Oh gawd...............give me a break. If I put six varieties of
salt on the table, I defy you to identify each any every one of them.
Dead Sea salt..............Pulllleeze........you wouldn't know that
from Mortons!! Your attempt to impress only exagerates your
pretension....and an ounce of pretention is worth a pound of bullshit.

You must often hear a 'plonk' sound over your head.

For all, non-trolls out there -
hi there and greetings from Poland - I'm just browsing your newsgroup in
search for new inspiration for my cooking. Successful so far.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought some Vietnamese salt at the Hong Kong
Market (I love that store). I bought the Vietnamese salt because it has
no additives. I use salt water to irrigate my sinuses. I am not
irrigating right now, because I have a sinus infection. I have not tried
it, but I thought I would taste it and see if it tasted differently.
