Oh yes Fois Gras from Hungary. What an experience it was eating the Goose Liver there. What memories, especially now that cholesterol problem overrules. The Goose Liver experience of Budapest, to me, was superior to any I have enjoyed in France.

Thank you for the reminder.

More lovely photos please Reposado!

Reposado, please keep up the great work. A lot of us are absolutely loving the photos and descriptions of the food you experienced on board. Thank You.

Mura, being an upcoming first-time Oceania passenger on the Riviera Lands of Time Cruise, recently I attempted to book the specialty restaurants. It was already a case of most being heavily booked and I found it difficult to obtain the bookings I would have liked. Most of my bookings, booked almost two weeks ago, were for the earliest time slot. One month out the choice of available bookings was narrowing.

For those who love Fois Gras, IMHO, the French will never give up their hold on that product. Whilst touring South Western France late last year, we witnessed an abundant mass of Geese, Ducks, on their respective farms, all waiting to supply the local market. Also in the shops, there was an excess of available fois gras product packed in many different ways. From huge cans, to small cryovac type packages. Fois Gras in profusion. Perhaps for those devotees, a mail order parcel could be organised, where the product is banned from being retailed or something similar. I could actually recommend a trip to the beautiful Dordogne, Perigord, Lot, Vezere valleys etc. Beautiful rural France.
