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?

[TangledWebOfDeception]

It’s like the thread of weird food/photography rules!

I need some oval dishes now. And little white bowls for the aioli!

DH will look at me like this as I already have every kind of plate/dish imaginable.

Except oval ones...

I honestly don’t understand how any person can reach adult hood in a first world country and not know how pate is commonly eaten. It is one of the most ubiquitous foods.

it’s threads like this that you realise folks are sat doing random weird shit at home.

Anyway op. there are no food police, eat it as you please, you could smear it on your husbands arse and joyously lick it off for all anyone cares. 😂

Morrisons do a very small packet in the deli bit

It really is a one portion thing

Perhaps not at a family meal, though.

I am howling with laughter at your reply and sound like Mutley from the wacky races 😂😂😂😂

[chaosmaker]

@pyracantha probably best just to give up the problematic pate centrepiece nights altogether!

@pizzaHeart

It doesn’t matter OP how you spread it. There are instructions on the pack that you should keep it in the fridge only for 2 days after opening.
Let’s say that you’ve opened it at 6pm on Saturday. At 6 pm on the following Monday open your fridge and throw away the leftovers. That’s it, don’t be scared.

Is that what you usually do, throwing food without checking whether it gone off?

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Safe and edible at 17.59, unsafe and inedible one minute later. That's how it works.

I pay very little attention indeed to use by/best before dates. I know raw chicken and fish need to be eaten/frozen asap after purchase and when I take something out of the freezer, it needs to be eaten asap after defrosting, or if suitable, cooked from frozen. I use my eyes and nose to determine whether fruit and veg are still OK to eat, and rarely have to chuck anything away.

Because of the listeria thing, I would be a bit more careful with pate, but I know from doing it that regardless of what it says on the packaging it freezes very well. I am here as living proof that it's safe to do.

psittacosis

Do they make pate out of parrots then? I had no idea...

[pyracantha]

RobertaFirmino you can’t be too careful with lightly cooked poultry :-D

[pyracantha]

I’m under a blanket on my sofa with a bad case of psittacosis right now. It’s been going on for a couple of days now. Thankfully it’s only shepherds pie for tea.

[Luckingfovely]

@pyracantha do you have a pet parrot that you frequently have beak-to-mouth contact with?

[pyracantha]

Luckingfovely No?

[BarbaraofSeville]

Given how ridiculously conservative uk food safety regulations are,with everything chilled, boiled or dated beyond any doubt that it might go off even if you leave it in the car all afternoon in summer, I doubt very much that the chicken in pate is 'lightly cooked'.

[chaosmaker]

Hope we keep all our food regs and don't ditch them for a tory 'trade deal' with the states which would need them to be dropped :(

[Applesandcarrots]

I can't find chicken liver pate on coop website actually. Just pork.

@Applesandcarrots

It's all sold out after this post.

[Fragrantandfoolish]

Sadly op, you turned what was weird funny, into just plain weird.

[Bonjovispyjamas]

I bought some chicken liver pate today, I guarantee it will be in my fridge for longer than 2 days, but it won't be wasted 😊

[FavouriteSlippers]

psittacosis.. Wtf! Lmao

There's around 30 cases in the uk a year and you got it from pate?! Haha ok then!
Afaik you don't get from food! I may be wrong.

I thought this thread was a joke, and now I know it is.

[Nogg]

don’t laugh, maybe she caught it giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to the greying chicken liver pate.

[Luckingfovely]

@pyracantha

Luckingfovely No?

Then how do you think you caught this rare bird disease? Was it actually Parrot Pate?

You can't get psittacosis from regularly pate. That's fact.

Although you are making me laugh, so that's something.

[Seagully7]

Someone is trying to give me a lump of dick pâté fr a wholesale block. I’m reluctant
