Just returned from the Dordogne. Is it possible to freeze foie gras?

Yes. In fact, one of the Momofuku recipes involve shaving frozen foie gras.

It will freeze well although it can get a little more mushy then fresh after thawing.

Sure thing. In fact, it's often sold frozen.

My mother just today brought a pound and a half of foie gras to store in my freezer. She bought it from some friends who import all sort of fancies and it came frozen so my guess is a hopeful YES.
