*Raise hand*
I don't know what frois gras is.

Hey, Neko. It is goose liver pate. Very expensive stuff because the geese are force fed with a funnel and the food is massaged down their throat. This process enlarges their liver.

I don't know if this is how it is done today. There are far too many organizations out there that protect animals, but it was at one time.

Fois gras is not pate. Pate is liver but it's ground up or mashed so it's more like a paste. You spread it on bread or crackers.

Fois gras doesn't look like liver when it comes out. It is extremely tender and incredibly delicious. It just melts in your mouth, it's so good. And yes, Fruitbat, I believe they still do it that way. It does seem kind of inhumane, though.

It is delicious. I have only had it a few times and I would like to have another shot. :)

and all this time i thought it was foie de gras...but however you say it, it is very, very good. no place to get it in this cow town, but i order it whenever i am someplace that carries it. i think i have mostly had it where it was served as a 'layer' on top of a slightly 'courser' pate--there were two different shades of brown and the top 'layer' was velvety smooth and melted in my mouth. it's one of those things, along with lamb stew or escargot, that i ask my dinner partners about their likes and dislikes of. and if no one else likes whatever it is, i am even more likely to order it and get it all to myself!

"Am I wrong to assume that most people know what frois gras is even if they haven't tasted it?"

Add me to the list of dummies. I had no idea what Fois gras was or what wine goes with what food. I doubt I'd ever try Fois gras if I had the opportunity and I prefer Iced Tea or Diet Pepsi with my meals.

Add me to the list of dummies too. Fois what?

I also hate wine, and yes, I've tried all different kinds both expensive and cheap. Even visited wineries in San Fran. Just give me an iced tea instead (with a straw please, the ice hurts my teeth! LOL) I say, if he doesn't want to eat something, good for him for not eating it!

I still think he's a big dough head, and it has nothing to do with wine or knowing about fancy foods. He's just a little dim about everything.

If he doesn't like something, of course don't eat it, but if he won't even try a bite, how does he know?

There are general rules for wines and what wine goes with what, but the best rule is to drink what you like with whatever and if you don't like wine, definitely drink something else.

I love wine, but rarely drink anything alcoholic, so my mainstay is pepsi.

I don't mind his ignorance, but he doesn't seem to be listening and learning and he has this opportunity from the butler.

I dislike much more his comments about the women and himself, just seems like the lights are on, but very dim and no one seems to be home.

You think that Sarah could fit into a BIGGER bikini.

Those beyotches..you don't realize how cat like I'd be if they crashed MY date like that.

Did anyone hear what Paul said about Heidi at the end of the show? I was busy doing something else and all I heard was him say her name and the smile on his face was so cute.

Mojvo are what ever is her name got the ax. Melissa can not cook can you believe that, Zora is the only real one out of this crap, Melissa is jealous of every girl, calling Zora a •••••. Melissa and Sarah have become friends laughing at the other girls, they sure do a lot of drinking but not Zora.

He was talking about their trip to the French Riviera next week and said something like..."I'm sure Heidi would have liked to go". I thought he was saying it in a sarcastic manner, but it sure sounded funny. I have a feeling that man did not like Miss Heidi! <grin>

Thanks Demeter! Yeah I think Paul was glad to see Heidi leave when she did. Paul is a cutie with that smile.

I felt sort of sorry for Mojo tonight. I think she really did kind of like Evan and didn't get the sense that it was just her feelings were hurt.

I like Melissa less and less each week. She seems enamored with the money. Sarah does too a bit, but she doesn't get on my nerves as much.

Zora is still skittish, but she seems the most real person there.

Meme, he said, "I wonder what Heidi would have to say about that."

I think there is some clever editing going on. The one they edit the most as having not a terrific time is Evan and Zora. Makes me think she gets the nod in the end.

No pun intended.

Thanks Juju! It makes me wonder what she is saying too. In my mind I can hear her saying "Whatever". hehe

They seem to be really playing up the Cinderella story, complete with the two catty stepsisters. This makes me think Zora is the one he chooses, though she doesn't seem at all impressed with him. I think she just enjoyed the horse and the communing with nature, not so much Evan.

If they compare notes at all about what they did on their dates I wouldn't blame her. Ick. After his trip to the woods with Sarah, I would be looking at him like he was a used Kleenex.

Wasn't it Zora who invited the other girls to the hot tub? It seemed like she didn't want to be there anyway and used them as her means of escape. While the other girls were popping out of their undersized suits, Zora kept hers covered with a tank top even in the water. Even before they came out she looked like she'd rather be getting a root canal.

I think Melissa got short-changed on her date, unless they edited out a big part of it. A trip to the kitchen to cook for a guy wearing flip-flops? Oh, yay. He had much longer dates with Zora and Sarah, and neither one of them were put to any test.

I can't believe that Mojo didn't understand why he rejected her. Making him listen to a long poem that includes the word "husband" was such an obvious mistake. Kind of reminds me of that "How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days" movie.

I thought it was extremely funny when Melissa said she had a "mercenary personality". I agree with her - she *is* motivated by money. :) Ish. She's my least favorite of the remaining three.

Joe seems more dim-witted to me each week. He didn't even crack a smile when Melissa made the "mercenary" comment, so obviously he had no idea what it meant either.

I feel kind of bad for MoJo. She seems to mean well, and I think she was more interested in Joe for himself than any of the other women. I think she just saw his supposed fortune as an added bonus. It's just unfortunate that she's so clueless. The puzzle and poem were...um, interesting. Her little scrapbook was strange as well. The check was kind of lame (did anyone else think she got the idea from Jim Carrey's story?), but I don't think it automatically meant she was looking to marry someone wealthy. It might just mean she's ambitious and has goals for herself. Maybe. :) In any case, I felt bad for her when Melissa and Sarah were being so catty towards her.

Zora seems okay, although she does seems a little uptight at times. It's fine to not like Evan (I know I don't ), but she seems to have actual *issues*. For the most part, though, she seems pretty down to earth. She doesn't seem as mean-spirited or insincere as Melissa or Sarah. I kind of hope she gets eliminated next, since she's the only one I still find likable. I don't think she deserves to be stuck with Evan...lol.

I want to bathe their children because I have a mercenary personality.....

I still can't stop laughing.

Oh, yes! I had forgotten about that mercenary comment. That was hilarious.

I think Mojo did tell Evan that she had gotten the idea for the check from Carrey's story. I took it to mean that she's ambitious and planned to make that money herself, but I think he took it to mean that having a lot of money is very important to her.

Did anyone else catch Sarah's comment to Melissa about the two of them having a strategy? She sounded like she was actually disappointed in Melissa for not making out with Evan.

Was the mercenary remark a malapropism? It did not seem to make sense. I just figured I did not hear it right.
