Humphry Slocombe's Foie Gras Ice Cream Sandwich, SF

This is my first foie escapade since the California ban got overturned.  I was pretty excited.  The thing set me back $5, and it was tiny, which was OK, since foie should really only be consumed in small quantities.  The foie gras sandwich was in between 2 ginger cookies.  I really could only taste the ginger cookies, no idea where they are from but I read that Humphry Slocombe's owner was opening a bake shop of some kind.  No taste of foie so I was a bit sad.  Guess I have to go for the real thing.  It was not bad or anything, but when you expect to taste foie and don't, that's always a bummer!

On a side note, they had a white chocolate lavender and green tea matcha flavour which I really liked.  Thank goodness for samples!  I also tried the olive oil one, but for some reason all I could taste was lemon.

I think I still have $116 of my $150 kudos left for the shop.  I will be back to have some different flavours, but I will not be a repeat foie customer!
