Foie Gras

Foie gras is one of the most popular delicacies in French cuisine and its flavour is described as rich, buttery, and delicate. , unlike that of a regular duck or goose liver. Foie gras is typically served as an accompaniment to another comestible, such as toast or steak.

Foie Gras, pronounced “fwah-grrah”, is probably one of the most tricky words to spell and to pronounce, especially for Americans. Few of us ever really get the French “r” sound down.

However, most people still understand that “foy grah” (the most common mispronunciation) means that wonderful delicacy so many of us love.

Is it fois gras? Foi gras? Foie grass? Foie gra? Or maybe foir gras? Foie Gras or Foies Gras (when referring to more than one foie) is the correct spelling.
