Pate
Pâté
Pâté (French pronunciation: ;
RP pronunciation: ;
General American pronunciation ) is a form of spreadable paste, usually made from meat (although
vegetarian variants exist), and often served with
toast as a
starter. "Pâté" is a French word which designates a mixture of
minced meat and fat.It is generally made from a finely ground or chunky mixture of
meats such as
liver, and often additional
fat,
vegetables,
herbs,
spices,
wine and other ingredients.In
French or
Belgian cuisine, pâté may be cooked in a crust as
pie or
loaf, in which case it is called pâté en croûte. On the other hand, it may be cooked in a
terrine (or other
mold), often lined with fat, in which case it is known as pâté en terrine. Traditionally, a
forcemeat mixture cooked and served in a terrine is called a terrine, but when it is unmolded it becomes pâté. It can be cooked as, and in, a
terrine, and be called for the vessel, but this has no influence on the end product.
