Buying foie gras online?

[blkery]

I've never cooked with foie before (and only had it once in my life), but after way too long hemming and hawing, I feel like I should investigate it more. Is there a source online that's a good value?

I've only bought and had experience for one online source for foie, but highly recommend them: D'Artagnan. Everything I've bought from them has been high quality and packed well - foie gras, truffles amd truffle oil and truffle butter, sausages, meats, poultry, pate, terrines, duck fat, demi-glace, etc.

Second D'Artagnan has the best. You no longer have to buy the full lobes! You cna buy small packs for under 30 dollars. Nice cleaned Hudson Valley's finest. You can also find quality truffles and other hard to find items.

another vote for D'Artagnan. excellent quality and best price. I recently purchased and prepared a whole lobe, and it's wonderful. Not cheap, tho....

Yup D'Artagnon, Ariane is great to work with and stellar products.

Thanks for the link, I wanted to try to cook foie gras at home, too so was thinking of posting the same query. I was thinking about the four pack. I have never cooked FG before and am not sure what to expect...can you give me and idea of what will come in this Hudson pack, will a refridgerated truck deliver it like Swansons? How long can I keep it? It is pre-slices, so what should I do with it, just sear it on high heat.

I am nervous about it cuz it is so expensive and I would seriously regret screwing it up. How big is a four pack 8-16 oz.? That is a 4 oz discrepancy. Would each piece be like a deck of cards?

By the way, what is foie gras mousse like? I like the taste of seared fois gras, so would I like the mousse?

Any tips would be appreciated.

The best sources in the US are D'Artagnan and Hudson Valley Foie Gras
