Pâté - has it fallen out of fashion?

[Morning Glory]

I'm having some Brussels pate with cranberries on toast for lunch

Sounds delicious.

Here's an interesting little thing I noticed today:

I grew up on olive loaf. It's essentially bologna with green olives in it:

As a kid, I loved that stuff (that pic is from Smithfield Meats).

Well, today, while poking around the deli case at Kroger, I noticed that Boar's Head, which markets itself as a maker of premium deli meats and cheeses, doesn't call theirs olive loaf, they call it olive terrine loaf.

That's probably why they can get away with charging twice as much!

I really must make some pâté (or a terrine). Its added to a 'to cook' list.

My recipe is simple and quick, and irresistible ! Never made terrine with bacon wrapped around it.

That looks identical to our delis here, ours has mixed vegetables in it. They call it savoury luncheon. I buy it all the time. I eat it as a snack from the fridge, one piece with squirt tomato sauce, then into my pie hole. Lol.

At one stage of my childhood I remember haslet appeared often on the "menu". Whether haslet could be considered pâté, I do not know, but it was cheap.

I think that's the missing link between pâté and meatloaf.

Chicken liver pate is always on a cocktail party menu. Quick, easy and scrumptious. Hogs head Cheese. A very savory pork terrine is always a hit. I wish I could afford goose liver.

It's made from bread and the insides of a pig that not many folks eat.

Growing up, I took a hole punch, and removed the olives.

I wouldn't consider it a pate - a pate needs to be spreadable. Haslet would normally be categorised as a cooked meat (the same category as pork luncheon meat, sliced ham, corned beef, liver sausage, etc.)

Last time I looked you could still get it and it was still cheap - I love it.

It must be 30 odd years since I've had it but I can close my eyes and imagine it. I must have loved it at the time.

Yeah definitely not a pate or terrine. It's a lunch meat indeed.
