Gosh, I didn't expect such a rush of replies, as headed off to another few things tonsort this eve, before checking back in here, so sorry for that, but thanks for all the contributions have enjoyed reading!
I agree with the poster who said it was a shit picture 
it so was, and its a shame that I had opened and started eating it as that obviously proved a distraction for some, but it wasn't some weird something, just the opened plastic was wrinkled and unclear!
Yes, also as other pp said, its been in my fridge past its sell by date now, and also wish i'd taken the pic before I started on it, as that spoiled the illusion that it was in fact one long slab of pate, and, you know what, it wasn't until I took the pic and looked at it that the two-pack bit really jumped out at me!
So yeah, went I bought it the two separate slabs really did look like one long slab, whereas both fell considerably short of the middle, and massive part (almost a third I feel) was covered by card.
Who buys pate in fucking twin packs!!! Gah!!
One buys a lump of pate, and I felt very cheated when I pulled the sleeve off to find two smaller slabs, my heartbreak and distress! Pfft!
I see some have been through this trauma and are wise to it.
I knew I should bring my problem here for the wise insights from fellow MNers!
