FoieGood Escalopes 4x30g vs First-Grade Whole Lobe 525g: Format, Preparation and Best Use

Choose the FoieGood Escalopes 4×30g when you need four measured cooking portions; choose the First-Grade Whole Duck Foie Gras Lobe ≈525g when the recipe requires a whole lobe and you want to decide the cuts yourself. In the 11 October 2026 snapshot, the escalopes cost £27.60 for 120g (£23.00 per 100g), while the approximately 525g lobe cost £55.95 (about £10.66 per 100g). Both are frozen products that require cooking. The smaller escalope pack lowers the checkout spend; the whole lobe lowers the displayed price per 100g and gives more preparation flexibility.

Key takeaways

• Choose first-grade whole lobe for whole-lobe control, more total product and a lower displayed unit price.
• The displayed product-price basis is £23.00 per 100g versus £10.66 per 100g.
• Read the price difference alongside format, preparation and required quantity; the lower figure is not automatically the better fit.

How do the prices compare?

Using the displayed pack prices and stated weights, first-grade whole lobe is £12.34 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.

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.

First-Grade Whole Duck Foie Gras Lobe ≈525g

Prepare and cook the whole lobe following the current pack and chosen recipe. Keep frozen and follow the supplied pack for defrosting, preparation, cooking and use-by instructions.

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?

For four plated portions, the escalope pack aligns quantity with the stated format. For terrine, pâté en croûte or custom cuts, the whole lobe is the relevant starting point. The lobe's weight is approximate, so calculate the final order from the supplied pack rather than treating 525g as exact.

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 pre-portioned cooking and a smaller purchase. Choose First-Grade Whole Duck Foie Gras Lobe ≈525g when you need whole-lobe control, more total product 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.
