foie gras was a sin
shamefully torturing ducks and geese, except of course my elder brother who's a greedy motherf$ck€r, he won't give a damn.
Never try foie gras if you've never done yet. And if you have, you probably like it just as most but think of this, doing without foie gras is no pain compared to the horrible torture that ducks and geese have to go through to make it.
On the other hand, excuse my advertising but I still recommend
Sauternes very much, that sweet wine that we're used to drinking when eating foie gras. It's deliciously fruity, you would certainly enjoy it a lot. It's usually expensive though. I would rather recommend
Sainte-Croix-du-Mont if spending like $ 100 for a bottle of wine bothers you. It's much less expensive because less prestigious than Sauternes but it's actually as tasty to non-experts like myself.
Of course good wines are not necessarily from France. California, Chile, South Africa, Australia... Those are regarded as credible growing rivals to our wine business nowadays, which is fine, it will force our producers to do even better. And since we're in the Midwest section, I think that business is actually kinda growing over there too. So support your local producers by enjoying their products when having good meals and remember, wine is not to get drunk, it's only a convivial gastronomic pleasure. When you need something to get yourself drunk, beer and stronger alcoholic drinks such as tequila, vodka or whiskey are more efficient because they're usually less expensive.
