In love with…Pate

Charentelle Pate

In our recent trip to Chamonix, we were introduced to Pate.  I’ve had Pate before.  While some can be delicious, when not well executed, they can be rather rank and disgusting.  The texture doesn’t help either.  I generally avoid them. 

Until this particular one.  Found in a store selling local goods in Chamonix, there are various types:  one with mushroom, berries (blueberries!) and others I can’t remember.  We chose one with mushroom and now regretting eternally that we didn’t get the one with blueberries. 

The pate is smooth and rich without the rank, meaty smell.  It was great with fresh bread and green salad. I wish we had more in stock.
