Comtesse du Barry

The other night, we were invited for dinner by Ramon's dear friend Joelle. She has been living in Paris for some time now. We all went crazy when she served us Foie Gras. It was unlike any other I have had. It was Foie Gras Mi-Cuit which is half cooked foie gras. It does not sound enticing but when we had it with a fig marmalade, we unanimously just closed our eyes and made all kinds of symphonic sounds. Joelle told us the name of the store so the next day we found ourselves on another mission.

The name of the store was Contesse du Barry located at 1 Rue de Serves in Paris. We located it after asking couple of people. As soon as we got in, they gave us some samples. There was a foie gras with an orange gelee which we all loved but it was the type just like the Mi-Cuit that can't be taken to the U.S. unfortunately.  We could only buy the canned foie gras. I wonder how much they charge for shipping?
They had all sorts of foie gras: duck, goose, combination of foie gras with chicken or pork. They also had lots of marmalades to go with the foie gras.

I have to mention the staff at that time, Salome and Christophe were so nice, friendly and very helpful. They even gave us all a sample of Sauterne to go with our foie gras.
As Gen. McArthur once said: " I shall return" and I will for sure.
