Les Trois Petits Cochons started in 1975 as a small charcuterie in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, where founders Alain Sinturel and Jean Pierre Pradié cooked and offered pâtés and other French specialties to the neighborhood gourmets. They soon received rave reviews by such notables as Craig Clairborne, Mimi Sheraton, James Beard, and others. Once word got out, they began making pâtés for other restaurants around Manhattan. By 1990, demand forced them to expand their operation. Today, they make their pâtés in their kitchen, House of Bricks, located in Wilkes Barre, PA. Les Trois Petits Cochons is recognized for its excellence as a leader in the specialty food business and industry it helped to create. They use all-natural, high quality ingredients, and craft small, handmade batches.

This is a delectable mousse of goose liver, pork, mushrooms flavored with the right spices and delicately sweetened with Sauternes wine. A perfect combination!

Contains soy products.

Comments about Mousse Royale au Sauternes:

We were looking for more flavor. Some of the other pates offered by Les Trois Petits Cochons are creamier and have the pronounced duck liver or goose liver flavors that we enjoy.
We'll order their other pates next time.

This is a fine pate to serve as an hors d'oeuvre on crackers. It is creamy and melts in your mouth.

Comments about Mousse Royale au Sauternes:

Very enjoyable! Bought it at the same time as the almost twice as expensive Mousse de Canard au Foie Gras, and this one was just as good - so in the future I'll buy two Mousse Royales instead of one Mousse Royale.

Comments about Mousse Royale au Sauternes:

I have served this at many cocktail parties. At one party, a guest balked at eating goose liver (she had never tried it) - as the party went on she decided to try it and ended up eating half the loaf. If you have never tried a mousse containing goose liver - you can't go wrong here. Serve with a hardy cracker (for newbies) and a fine, light cracker (for mousse lovers).

absolutly perfect!
