Perhaps (no, this is most likely) due to reading so many stories by travelers and expats in France, I've been craving everything French, in particular foie gras. This Valentine's, beau will take me to *omgomgomg* Petit Robert Central for some Torchon de Foie Gras!! Until then, I will have to keep my excitement down (or am I making it worse?) with these above.
Lunch was a charcuterie plate of (clockwise from top left) Cornichon, Mortadella, Duck Liver Mousse, Rosette de Lyon. From "The Butcher Shop" on Tremont St (Boston's South End).

- Cornichons are so addictive, I can't
stop popping one after the other!
- Mortadella is like a grown-up version
of bologna with peppercorn and pistachio.
- Duck Liver Mousse is earthier
with a more pronounced taste than the smooth
and creamy goose liver I'm used to when it comes to pate and terrines.
Great on toast.
- The best thing though, hands-down is the Rosette de Lyon
the butcher recommended. I went with it because it wasn't as pricey as
the Prosciutto, but just as nice with the salty and subtle sweet taste
and that melt-in-your-mouth feel. The added spicy kick was nice too. I
didn't know salami could be so good!
