They go from the inexpensive to the <i>très cher</i>. Have you ever been to the <i>brocante/dépôt-vente</i> on the main road in Azay-sur-Cher? I've found some good terrines there for not much money.<br /><br />Anton, thanks for that interesting comment.<br /><br />Sue, hope you and Leon are doing well. Too bad duck is so expensive down there. Of course there are other terrines and pâtés you can make. I wonder how a turkey terrine would be and may have to make one soon.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you for the comments.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-68771894410692043012012-11-23T00:05:19.036+01:002012-11-23T00:05:19.036+01:00Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

My housebrick wrapped in foil is a perfect fit when placed on its side.<br />I would love to make the terrine with duck, but it's so dear here I like to keep duck breast to eat on its own!<br />Your meal sounds delicious. I'm sure you will enjoy!<br />SueLeon Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609891995057827081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-9034703595353656062012-11-22T19:12:34.085+01:002012-11-22T19:12:34.085+01:00Happy Thanksgiving to you and Walt from balmy '...Happy Thanksgiving to you and Walt from balmy 'Bama!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-36866715658638525502012-11-22T18:36:39.535+01:002012-11-22T18:36:39.535+01:00This must be a fantastic dish.

Growing up she used to have my sister and me help her to make terrines and up until now I've never seen anyone else go through all the steps we did to make one. I'll never forget one particular day I had my girlfriend over and my mother set two ducks on the table in front of us and told us to start deboning them. When my girlfriend's mother came over to pick her up the look of horror on her face was priceless as she saw her daughter up to her elbows in duck grease, bones and pieces of deconstructed duck. Needless to say they never tried the terrine! Happy Thanksgiving, and yes, we're having a terrine this year too, it's tradition.<br /><br />www.broadwayandthresher.comantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776816599362753865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-68152912482830579302012-11-22T15:02:44.921+01:002012-11-22T15:02:44.921+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776816599362753865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-10611344711302246762012-11-22T14:28:59.727+01:002012-11-22T14:28:59.727+01:00This terrine tutorial has been

I've done quite a few terrines and patés, but never been adventurous like this.<br /><br />My parents had a terrine like yours through their antique shop many years back... it had a well scrubbed oval of beech <i>[hetre]</i> with it and a matching cast iron slab of about 2lbs. <br />I wasn't that far into cooking for myself at that point... and had just discovered Chinese and Indian food... but now I wish I'd nabbed it off the shelf for a 'donation'.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
