Foie gras
One of the most celebrated delicacies of French cuisine (and one of the most controversial in American cuisine) is foie gras, or duck/goose liver. Controversial production methods (force-feeding ducks to increase their fat content) have made its a constant source of debate in the US cooking industry, but in France, 92% of the population continues to consume it, according to a French news report. It's prized for its rich, creamy flavor and versatility (can be made into a mousse, lightly pan-fried or served cold as a terrine, etc.), and when bird flu epidemics hit France, the price rises significantly. Today, you can probably get one kilo for around $60 per kilo, depending on the producer whether duck or goose fat is used.
