Our favourite p�t� is salmon (which I've usually cooked too much of), wizzed in the processor with cream cheese and a sqeedge of lemon and bit of crushed pepper corns......
i like mine on toast .
preferably no crusts and lightly toasted then left to go cold.
otherwise the pate melts and goes greasy .
( for the record i do actually like pate and this is a totally factual post , do not be worried or disturbed if you think it may be false or made up as it is in fact totally true )
Farmhouse pate (no goose or duck - due to force feeding) on cold plain toast, garnished with red salmon roe-eggs for sheer luxury. Served with sliced avocado.
Terambulam...I suspect you are thinking of foie gras....whereas I think the commercial duck pates in most supermarkets are not made with force-fed duck livers.
Tesco's etc need to be careful and would not stock such products.
