I'm with you Iregeo! Foie gras is so unbelievably rich, but I never got tired of it with a glass of Pineau. We brought home canned from the Sarlat market and are pleased with it, but it runs a far second to the fresh type eaten locally. Yum!

I'm with klondike and Iregeo on this one, fois gras all the way.
I consider a perfect day in France one where I have it at lunch in the terrine style and then again at dinner in the pan seared style.

Guinea fowl (pintade) in France, preferably cooked in a good Rasteau. Cavaillon melon with Beaumes-de-Venise wine in the center. Mixed wood mushrooms in the fall cooked with garlic, butter, and parsley at bistro Au Petit Marguery in Paris.

Ahh, great thread especially for foodies like me. Let me see. . . .
Going to Ch. du Pape for a day of barrel tastings and fresh goat cheese. (teeth were purple for days!)
Order a prix fixe in Bayeau and having them set the entire earthen pan of terrine on the table and letting us serve ourselves (needed a 2nd bottle of wine that night)
Buying a bag of peaches at the market just off the Rialto bridge and then wandering the street of Venice looking for public wanter fountains to wash the peach juice dripping down our arms.
Tucking into a great grilled leg of lamb in Marias on a cold rainy night after walking the streets and museum of Paris for 10 hours.
Tasting 15 wines and then 10-12 eau di vies before lunch and then having the wine maker insist we eat braised pork hocks with fois gras sauce as our THIRD lunch course.
The list goes on and on. Now I'm hungry, got to go . . .
