Pairing Foie Gras correctly — a note on a digestif of Calvados

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Foie Gras. I ordered it with a digestif of Calvados and the buttery and aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. cream in particular became more prominent in a good way.

French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The a countryside auberge is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Foie Gras with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
