Foie Cures ‘Brrrr’

Posted by Baylen on Jan. 9, 2008

How great a cold-weather food is foie gras? So good that it’s even good ice-cold, no matter what a donkey-castrating actress says. So good that it makes perfect picnic fare for crazy TV hosts on a little drive across… the Arctic.

Trying to prove Arctic exploration [in an SUV] needn’t be difficult involves, for the cabin-bound [hosts], copious amounts of alcohol, foie gras and aged cheese.

Since I know I won’t be enjoying foie ice cream or traversing the Arctic anytime soon, I lived dangerously instead on New Year’s Eve, where champagne chased foie spread on a New Skete dog biscuit (wheaty, minty, and creamy deliciousness all at once), a nod of sorts to this Parisian shop.

My homage to foie and to those fighting to keep it legal in icy Chicago is here.
