OK, OK, OK, I get it Liver Pate is not everyone's cup of tea, but just this morning I had a blog visitor from France visit me while I typed up the Meatloaf blog which got me to thinking about country-style Provence pate with a bottle of Chateau Lyonnat. For those who love liver pate, like I do, it is definitely something I thought I would never eat again.
I used to work at the Versailles Restaurant in Lexington. One of the lunch offerings was coarse country style chicken liver pate with a side of french bread and endive -which is where I grew my fondness for coarse pate with brown mustard.
My Grandmother-in-law, Sally, always had chopped liver for a Passover appetizer. Which turned into vegetarian chopped liver in my household. It happens. I viewed it a as Jewish pate.
The point of this is Pate is just a thick puree like mousse. Which reminds me I should start testing Salmon Mousse . . .
I would treat it as the flavoring for a pureed thick "Veggie Juice". Add a mixture of the OTHER FOODS and a little OPTION FRESH HERBS and/or ADDITIONAL FLAVORING.
Allows you to make small batches and mix up the flavoring. If you are sipping, I recommend cup sizes of lest than 1/2 cup at a time. Great for small portable blenders (strain if needed for the tummy tube).
