Pâté and foie-gras: differences and similarities

Foie-gras, a delicacy

The term "Foie gras" has french origin and it means "fatty liver", which really is what it is. Liver 100% duck or goose to obtain an exceptionally fatty and large liver.

Mi-cuit: Whole and semi-cooked liver. Presented in can or in bags. It is served in thin slices.
