Card number 41 from the 2-in-1 International Recipe Card Collection features a recipe for whole wheat bread – and black velvet.
Black Velvet is a drink made with iced stout and chilled champagne.
Pate de Fois Gras Strasbourg is made from the livers of plump, force-fed Strasbourg geese and studded with black truffles. It is as rich in price as it is in flavor. A little goes a long way. Find it in gourmet stores or gourmet sections of supermarkets.
