think liverwurst, Patrick, and you have the general idea - though that is made with pork liver, and has other ingredients not unlike my white hots. but the texture and livery taste are reminiscent. Foie gras is richer, creamier, and simply the liv...
Listen up older brother. The use of a pasta machine would spell disaster. You would have to have a machine where the rollers were easily removed for cleaning. Otherwise, the butter would leave residue on the rollers and eventually become rancid. I...
No humor at you, just us two brothers going at each other because that's what we do.

Foie gras is expensive ! So, Middle class people like us, eat foie gras for Christmas and new year time or special event !

To understand the "toast point" controversy, go here. Johnny is into toast points. As a matter of fact he is known regionally as Mr. Toast Point. An envious position for anyone deep in toast point tradition and preparation.
the concept is the same, but the puff pastry is lighter in texture (but richer - a batch of puff pastry is made with 4 cups of flour and 3 sticks of butter). Lots of folding and rolling - I bet a pasta roller would work!
Actually, Laura has a good idea here. Instead of using the typical dough for a calzone, the puff pastry would probably work very well. I think I will do a little experimenting. Of course, puff pastry does not want to become part of you DAILY diet ...
