Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal? I had the pleasure of dining there twice in maybe 2007-2008 timeframe. I recall everything I ate being amazing. I tried the stuffed pig’s foot, because I’m a glutton for…gluttony. Also vividly recall a tripe special that the waiter talked me into on one of the visits. I generally don’t love tripe but it was tender, succulent, amazingly flavorful, and not at all heavy on that usual tripe flavor. I’m thoroughly envious of you right now!!!

it was lovely! my 4th visit over 16 years i have visited very few Montreal restaurants more than twice, because I always like to try new places! This is one I revisit.
Last night, I chose the scallop and tuna tiradito, the chicken and motel Vol au Vent, and the Pouding Chômeur. I started with an Old Montreal cocktail.

Not this time.
I had a bad experience with foie gras on my last visit to Montreal in 2019 so I currently avoid eating it anywhere.

Like food poisoning, or … ? Curious about what a bad foie gras experience entails.

Just too rich for me.
I had a really lovely family style tasting menu dinner with a dozen peers, including a generous amount of foie gras.
I lost my dinner once I got back to my hotel room.
The 3 things that have led me to this, that I now avoid:
croissants
fettuccine Alfredo / pasta Alfredo
foie gras
Thanksgiving Menu at Plaza Hotel in New York City (1899)
Above, we have the menu for an 1899 Thanksgiving dinner at the Plaza Hotel in New York. If you were a turkey, you had it relatively easy. But the ducks? Not so much. On the menu, you’ll find Mallard duck and Ruddy duck. But also Red-head duck, Long Island duckling, Teal duck and Canvas-back duck, too. A duck in NYC was not a good place to be.
And, oh, those prices! Not one item above a few dollars. But let’s account for inflation, shall we? In 2021, one Redditor noted: “I found a calculator and it turns out that $.30 in 1899 equals $10.00 now. The Fried oyster crabs would be $24.99 now and a Philadelphia chicken would be $66.65. So, the cheapest thing on the menu is Sweet buttermilk for $.10, but today would be $3.33.”
