What is "pâté"?
Pâté is a rich and flavorful spread made from finely ground meat, poultry, or fish, often mixed with fat, herbs, spices, and sometimes other ingredients such as vegetables, nuts, or fruit. It has a smooth and creamy texture with a complex and savory taste, often enhanced by the addition of wine or cognac. Pâté is typically cooked and then blended into a smooth paste, which is then chilled until firm. It is commonly served as an appetizer, spread on crackers, bread, or toast, or used as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or pastries.
