Foie Gras. Possible bulk buy?
Discussion
I have been investigating foie gras suppliers and have found what I consider to be a fair price from a supplier in Bulgaria.
The firm appears to be OK , it is this one http://www.21food.com/showroom/73296/aboutus/escar...
And appears to be under the umbrella of this company http://agrodrip-zahara.com/
A lot of the cost of bringing it to the UK is in the transporting of the product, especially if it is the proper foie gras (not the pate) that is quick frozen into escalopes and separated by silver foil. I am assured these are class A.
They also do the pate in tins. All these goods are 100% (more or less) duck liver.
I suppose frozen snails and truffels could also be thrown in if people want them, they also supply these.
The cost is 19 euros per kilo for the frozen foie gras and 5.90 per kilo for the tins. Very cheap if the prices are correct.
The supplier says he sent 50kg of frozen products which got to the UK within 24 hours for 350 euros by DHL,all the food was still frozen.
Anyone interested? The prices seem very cheap, but what can I do?
I would drive to the DHL office in Glasgow, go home and get the stuff back down to temperature in my freezer then divide it all up and send the product out in thermal boxes with ice.
You would pay a share of the product, freight, the postage and the thermal boxes.
I have never done anything like this before so all comments are valued.

Tinned pate is a waste of time, it's the whole liver you want. I'd wonder about quality though unless someone tried it first...
Some people like the tinned pate.With regards to the quality, that's why I have thrown it open, the prices appear to be such, that it is worth a punt.
t, plenty of them about, why should this forum be free of this pollution. dazco said:

Now that is seriously good value.
If buying the whole liver, don't forget to remove all the veins and associated gubbins,
If the bloke says they are class A, then there should be very little in the way of veins. If buying the whole liver, don't forget to remove all the veins and associated gubbins,
(google is indeed my friend)

Ahh, so they've all been removed prior to sale then I guess?
I would need to speak to the bloke, I am using the French classifications. I knew nothing about Foie Gras two days ago.
