Your blackberry , creme de cassis sounds wonderful for the duck, may I suggest a stuffed apple with coucous ?..... pour la presentation of course et gout.

Yes these are great comfort foods.
I was trying to think outside the box, maybe too much ? I have gastrique on the brain among other things.

One can never go wrong with rice pilaf and toasted sliced almonds.

I once served stuffed apples with minted couscous but seeing as how I did not want to take away from le saveur de cassis, blackberry, yes, I agree Chef BDL, a seasoned couscous.

The choices are terrific here and so many......

Speaking about duck fat, there is a french Bistro here that serves gourmet french fries cooked in duck fat, it is usally served with steak tartar and homemade mayonnaise...


Oh MY ! Mes battements de coeur.....


It may sound unusual but so tasty !!!

These are wonderful , peeled , cut into pieces, drizzle with oil , salt and pepper , bake in a 350 oven for 40 minutes. Great to put carrots in there as well.

Has less carbs than a potato I believe

Many chefs make french fries with them as well...........
