I have very sensitive taste buds, and I've had a lot of comparisons to train them against. My daughter, Sarah, has an amazing palate for food and wine at age 10. She's been drinking wine since she was five, and on a regular basis since she was 8. Picks out tasting notes without suggestion. > Once these French guys guaranteed me they would have me appreciating > fois gras.

Seasoned with Fleur de Sel, seared in hot cast iron, served with my pomegranate molasses and balsamic saba sauce dotted around. Paired with a 2003 Chateau Rieussec Grand Cru Sauternes. You would have loved it, I promise you. Richard Blaise makes a foie gras milkshake that's (I'm told) very good. I've heard of covering foie gras with chocolate, which makes perfect sense when you consider the fact that Sela (chocolate-covered salted lard) is one of the biggest candies in Russia. > Or chicago pizza or hotdogs. For me, that's the best > food on Earth :) I have to agree on Chicago dogs, but they have to be the real thing, through and through: poppy seed bun steamed just right, Vienna frank, Hebrew National mustard, freshly-cut onions, relish (I like Heinz Sweet), one sliver of a long Claussen dill, two thin red ripe tomato wedges, Tabasco peppers split lengthwise (two will do), and celery salt on top because when I can smell it each bite tastes a whole lot better because it activates your hunger center and it makes saliva flow. Yeah, I'd choose it over foie gras, actually, if the two were placed side by side. Gotta go with you on that one, all the way. And one is never, ever enough.
