Surely nobody can eat a pack of pate?

[pyracantha]

There are 4 of us. Once a week we have lots of different types of salads with French bread and pate as our evening meal. We love pate. It gets eaten at breakfast on toast in the days afterwards.

We never managed to eat it all before we’re scared of it. Why don’t they sell it in usable portions?

I'm struggling with the concept of a scraping of cheap pate from the co-op being classed as a treat and a "centre piece meal"!

I'm pissed off I forgot to buy pate this week now 🤣

OP, this only makes sense if your family members are named Arrietty, Pod and Homily...

Come now, you're being disingenuous - you missed out the thin scrape of pate!

I could eat a pack of Brussels pate on my own in a sitting.

I don't, but I could!

Oh god oh god oh god.

I kinda understand the OP.

Love the taste of pate. Hate the thought of liver in any other form. Have to eat it really quickly while singing LA LA LA in my head.

Once it's been in the fridge open (covered) for about 24 hours, I get the Pate Fear. And then the dogs get lucky.

There's no hope, is there?

This a joke isn't it? I've just pre-ordered pate for my starter for Sunday lunch. A cute little pot of it. I will eat it all. Not a posh restaurant a pub chain.

Ooh I bloody love pate and haven't had any for ages! It's needs to be thick enough to see your teeth marks in!

I bet paté sales have been going up all round the country as a result of this thread. OP, are you an undercover member of the Paté Marketing Board?

I think the pate troll is actually a renegade genius advertising agency funded by the Pate Marketing Board.

They’re gonna win Gold at the awards dinner this year.

[Alexa add pate to shopping list]

Oh bugger @Patineur xpost. I hadn’t refreshed the browser.

I feel like this about soft cheese which seems to grow mould while you look at it. Which is why I buy the individual serving packs of Philidephia.

Are you imagining it carved into the shape of a duck or a pig? That would be awesome!

Honestly, this just confuses me. I.can just about get over the weird pâté and salad treat dinner on a Saturday. We do this, but we also have olives, sundried tomatoes, pickles, a wee charcuterie board and sometimes a baked camembert. Your portioning is crazy op. How is it tricky to spread pâté thickly?

I'm liking this idea and think I'm going to have a pate and camebert dinner on Saturday

Like this but with more salad.

What about a chocolate fountain but with pate instead?

Or this!

That's like one of those duck or rabbit pictures.

Damn you all. I need to go to Waitrose at lunchtime and I don't think I'll be able to resist pate after this thread. I have proper sourdough and lovely French salted butter, so I will mainly be spending my afternoon on the sofa mainlining carbs and fat.

I think I am counting down the minutes until lunchtime!

Now you are just messing with us @ZeroFuchsGiven ! Who eats pate with PEAS? Not even the slightly odd OP does that!

I'm imaging this, but obviously one slice between two people, as to eat any more would be greedy. Accompanied by one cherry tomato (halved), a couple of shreds of iceberg lettuce and a quarter slice of cucumber. They'll be stuffed after that! It's a wonder they can manage any breakfast on Sunday at all.

Am still PMSL at poo emoji on an oatcake.

not gonna be able to look an oatcake in the face now.

Oh no I don’t think that’s a thin enough scraping!! It has to last half the week!

I’m going to make pâté on the back of this thread. Or terrine.

Oh, my mistake! More than half the week!

Goodness what a lot of pâté for a once a week major treat...
