...and so far I have "crème brûlée au foie gras"
Well, that's no great advance, is it?
All help gratefully received. (I take size 40 in life jackets)

foie gras crème brûlée
Funnily enough, just translated the very same thing...
I cannot see any other serious options, since individually both these terms are usually left untranslated

Hi, for some reason my explanation did not appear when I posted!
It is quite trendy for posh restaurants to flip things around - so in this case serve an appetiser in what is traditionally a dessert form. I have actually had it this - essentially foie gras made just like a creme brulee - creamed smooth and served in a ramekin with a toasty/caramelised top. It's quite good, although I prefer it done traditionally :-)

fois gras brûlée
Sometimes, I have seen this used when the crème brûlée is flavoured with something else than the straightforward dessert. For example, Jamie Oliver has a "rhubarb brûlée" in one of his books...

writeaway
: not something that sounds too tempting /well since it's not an 'obvious' combination (crème brûlée and foie gras), this really does sound like burnt foie gras. Imo, does not work at all in this case/@FF-'foie gras brulee' in the pic is not the same dish

brûlée is often used as short for crème brûlée, actually

: If Jamie uses it, then it must be OK :-) Also found many reliable English-language refs for this, eg www.nycfoodie.com/nycfoodie/index.php?entry=entry091118

Thank you French Foodie

: I agree with W/A: when used with an unexpected ingredient, this sounds faintly silly... 'crème brûlée' is widely known in EN, but 'brûlée' on its own is much less common.

Thank you Tony, I think it is used quite a lot, especially when there is another ingredient, unusual or not.

: foie gras brûlée, seems to be the more common use in the U.S.

Foie gras brullee, with and without the accents definitely seems to have entered the English language, and not only in New York.

This peaked my interest. I got Happy in the Kitchen out and started to browse through it more intently. A recipe caught my eye. Foie Gras Brulee — what in the world? At first I thought, “Eewww!” Throwing foie gras in with cream and eggs did not sound appealing! Besides, what an abomination to put foie gras through a blender! I shut the book, eyes looking upward and puckered my lips to one corner in deep thought. My inner voice chided loudly, “What happened to thinking outside the box?” With a sigh, I opened the pages of the book to the “weird” dish, and studied it with a more open mind.
