Best canned foie gras in NYC?

Question

What's the best canned foie gras you can buy at a store in NYC or online (mailed from U.S.)? Someone brought canned foie gras for me from France and it was better than expected (see image). While fresh is obviously better, its nice to have the convenience of a canned option. However, canned foie gras seems like it could go very wrong, so I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation.

Answer

I dont know the answer, but may I ask why you want it to come from the US if you get it online? I have bought it online from France (from ebay) with no problem.

"Rougie" is the brand Erica was thinking of - though they're Canadian, not French, IIRC. Dean & Deluca used to carry it, until D&D was no more. I think I might have seen it at Union Market, as well, but I'm sure a few higher-end grocers carry it. Buon Italia at Chelsea Market for sure has a number of canned / jarred options. 

Foie, thanks to the high fat content, actually keeps frozen very well for long-term storage, as long as it's properly vacuum sealed. D'Artagnan sells IQF individually-packed 2.5oz portions, though they only sell them in bags of thirty, so it's a bit pricey going in. That said, it's pretty economical since it only comes to $3-$4/oz or so. Individual cans/jars... you're probably looking at something more like $7-$10/oz, depending on brand. Could be handy to stock up and then you've got a whole bunch of single servings stashed away you can pop out whenever you need one. Only takes like 30 seconds to cook. 

Buon Italia also has frozen vacuum-sealed foie in assorted qualities and weights. I always keep some cheaper c-grade on hand, which is astronomically less expensive, if I decide I'm gonna pop some into a sauce.

Answer

Enter pate de foie gras in Google Imasges--and stand back. Rougie and several other brands pop right up.
