Breaking news... Made in France Warehouse Sale

So, I've literally just walked back in from exploring the Made In France/Village Imports warehouse sale.

I won't rehash the details of the sale - you can go to Sam's site, here, for that. Suffice it to say, though, that Friday is definitely the day to go, if you can manage it.

Me, I'm lucky to work in Brisbane, so I finally braved the damn sale, and now I'm sitting here savoring a Mamie Nova Yaourt au Framboises & Mûres.

At any rate, here's what my $125 got me:

• 1.25lb whole Rougie Foie Gras
• 1 package of Petit Suisse (which I can't wait to eat with my yummy Piquant Quince preserves from England, lovingly hand-delivered by Sam)
• Two small tubs of demi-glace (veal & mushroom)
• 2 1-lb blocks of Plugra
• Several packages of Mamie Nova yogurts (including a pistachio one I've never had!) and crèmes
• Several crocks of La Fermière yogurts
• Chestnut paste
• Harissa
• Champagne vinegar
• Several bars of chocolate
• A large round of Valencay
• A tub of Maitres Laitiers du Cotentin cheese
• and finally, a small jar of truffle pieces (I don't have high hopes for this, but it was under $15, so if nothing else, will be fine for finishing dressings, etc.)

My companion in Plugra, I'd expect nothing less from you. Your haul sounds divine! Maybe I can get to the next one...

my freezer is full of petit suisse.
they freeze really well.
you didn't get any of the Les Fermieres?
I have to work tomorrow so I cant go:(
but its ok, like i said - i have a stockpile of petits suisse from the last time.

Nice find on the foie. Those demis look good too. That's the kind of "warehouse sale" I need to find, heh.

Oh, BALZAC. I missed it again. Ah well, I can live vicariously through your list.
