    Ce n'est pas "fois gras", mais "Foie Gras". On peut les retrouver dans la phrase "il était une fois, un homme de foi qui disait, ma foi, c'est bien la dernière fois que je mangerai du foie dans la ville de Foix". Tous les mots commençant par F.O.I se prononcent pareil mais n'ont pas le même sens...
