How do the prices compare?

Using the displayed pack prices and stated weights, chilled 30% bloc is £13.42 less per 100g. This is a purchase-price comparison before delivery. It does not include accompaniments, energy, labour, cooking loss or unused product. Those factors differ by menu and can change the cost of a finished portion.

A guide-priced or catchweight item can have a different final selling price or supplied weight. Per-100g figures for approximate weights are planning figures, not a guaranteed invoice calculation. Prices and availability can change after the dated snapshot, so the product page should remain the checkout source.

How does preparation change the choice?

FoieGood Foie Gras Escalopes 4×30g

Cook the four 30g portions following the current pack directions. Keep frozen and use safe defrosting and cooking handling exactly as directed on the pack.

Chilled Foie Gras Bloc 30% ≈1kg

Keep chilled, slice and serve; no cooking step is listed. Keep chilled, cover promptly after opening and follow the pack's use-by and after-opening directions.

Where cooking is required, use a suitable recipe and the current pack's food-safety directions. A ready-to-slice product should not be substituted into a method written for a frozen cooking product, and a frozen cooking product should never be served as though it were a prepared chilled item.

Which format suits the occasion?

The escalopes suit a small cooked course. The bloc suits a canapé run, buffet or larger starter service where many even slices are needed. Do not infer equivalent serving counts from unit price: the packs differ by 880g in stated weight and are intended for different preparation paths.

For broader category context, use the foie gras guide. It explains the practical distinction between whole lobe, bloc, terrine, mi-cuit and portioned cooking formats before you choose a specific pack.

How should you decide?

  • Start with service style: decide whether the dish will be served cold and sliced or cooked to order.
  • Match the quantity: compare the stated pack weight with the number and size of portions you intend to serve.
  • Price on the same basis: use the dated per-100g figures, then account for delivery and any recipe-specific costs.
  • Plan storage: make sure frozen, chilled or after-opening requirements fit the event and available storage.

Verdict

Choose FoieGood Foie Gras Escalopes 4×30g when you need four cooked portions and the lower checkout spend. Choose Chilled Foie Gras Bloc 30% ≈1kg when you need high-volume cold slicing and a lower displayed unit price. The correct choice follows the intended dish, quantity and preparation route. The dated prices help compare the purchase, but they do not create a universal winner across two different formats.
