    I ate bear once in Finland. It… was really expensive. And it was gamey. Meh. But hello, it was bear, we had to order it. I also ate reindeer there… maybe not the best thing to say on Christmas, but there you have it.

      Oh wow that is exotic! Way more exotic than I’ve ever had. The most unusual thing I’ve ever eaten was escargot. I remember it not being that bad–but it was smothered in butter and garlic. 🙂

    That’s Chef Pascal Chureau, previously of Fenouil. He used to do a duck confit hash topped w/ poached eggs on his brunch menu that was amazing.

      I used to work with his wife. 🙂 I liked the place a lot! Do you ever prepare duck for yourself?

        No. I could though…
        I mostly make either wraps or sandwiches at home. Simple foods. I eat enough of the “fancy” stuff at work…
        It’s funny that with all the extravagant offerings we have, my favorite buffet we do is the “Build Your Own Deli Sandwich” buffet.

          That deli sandwich buffet sounds like fun!
