Foie gra is gross. I just don't see the appeal.
Generally I don't get "delicacies". People want to pay all this money for something supposedly the best, but generally turn out to be disappointing.
I'd bet if I laid out 10 types of caviar, you probably couldn't tell the cheapest from the supposed best.
Pen & Teller did one of their "Bull****" episodes on fancy foods. They made crap from tin cans into fancy meals and served them in a fancy setting and embellished the descriptions - people fell for it - supposed gourmet connisours - thought it was delicious! Hillarious.
