BUT - we were given a tin of foie gras ewhen we bought a lot of wine in
France last year and I'm not sure what to do with it (apart from decant
and eat) Can I heat it? How? Any other ideas?

If you're talking about the tin of foie gras, chill it, open it, slice
the foie, spread it on toasted bread and eat it with a very chilled
Monbazillac or a Sauterne.

I have to agree with that. On the few times we have been able to afford it,
it's too delicious to muck about with. Have a bit of a job to wait for the
toast! If you're not too bothered, slice it thinly on fillet steak with
Madeira sauce, or cooked in Beef Wellington. Personally, I can't wait that
long.............

Whoops! I'm afraid the illiteracy level is mine. ALF not my favourite
organisation but their grammar may well be faultless (or at least
faultlesser than mine)

terrorists, bomb makers, arsonists,
go round shouting obscenities at and damaging the property of scientists who
try to are trying to find cures for diseases which kill people.
Scum of the earth
The sooner they are all in jail the better, or better still commit suicide
like Barry Horn.

Sorry but they attacked scientists trying to find a cure for epilepsy which
killed my first wife Lois. I hate their guts for trying to kill people
like Lois.

It's could have meant that they don't read. Not that I know what ALF is!

(Gordon Ramsey)
boil down 100ml of balsamic to half

fry the foie gras (sliced) for one minute in a hot dry non stick pan.
Serve with pan juices and the balsamic + peach chutney and brioche.

starter or luxury snack.

For those who queried it, ALF stands for Animal Liberation Front. I know
they are not the only people who are opposed to foie gras on the grounds
of the cruel way it is produced. In fact I used to be myself, until I
tasted foie gras that is. What a venal thing is greedy woman!

No they're not. I've never had it and wouldn't try it. I'm sure it's
delicious but I'm not tempted.

I made a jar for the foie gras recipe. Anyone have uses for rest of
jar?

I wouldn't be keen on eating it either from the way it's produced.
