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?

Now I want some pâté..

Havent read the whole thread but maybe OP was subjected to meat paste in the 70’s, in teeny jars?
Shiphams, is it still a thing?

This is excellent. Thank you OP for blessing us with your pate woes.

Maybe the OP is my DSis, she was put in charge of making sandwiches for a picnic for a day out. I think she'd made them for DM and 4 DC using a single jar of Shipham paste.

When it was time to eat them we looked in the sandwiches and you could barely see it.

Luckily we had crisps as well so we had crisp and homeopathic paste sandwiches.

Morrisons do a pack that's split in to sections so you can just open one small section at a time. They also do 50g packs.

I’ve had to go downstairs to check my pate consumption. I opened a white plastic tub yesterday and had it on my lunchtime toasted granary bagel. It was delicious and spread thickly. I used about 1/8 of the tub.

Based on four people sharing the same tub for the main meal of the day I would expect it to be entirely gone on Treat of The Week day.

I think this thread is a joke thread, but it’s certainly made me laugh.

I once ate 8 slices of toast and pate in a row when I was breastfeeding ds2, who was huge and would eat no solids at all until he was 9 months...this was a snack.

I know what you mean about the grey outside/pink inside op - I would still eat it when it was like this. My dh has put me off it completely by calling it 'guts' though - thanks dh!

@Poppins2016 your salad sounds amazing!! Now added to my sad list of things I want to eat along with an entire slab of pate as soon as dc2 is born! Mmm warm runny cheese and wodges of pate on crusty bread and that salad!!

Are you a family of sparrows OP? Or do you just want to bestow us with your saintly eating habits 🙄

175g of Magical Mumsnet Chicken Pate

Amazing.

Oh oops you’re right lol. Probably 3 people. Brain fart.

I’m married to a vegetarian. I use an entire pack of patê in one or two sittings. If 4 of you are leaving any at the end of your big blow out, once a week treat, you’re eating it incorrectly!

This is classic pate petrification. Probably causer by a build up of liver toxins in your diet

Nothing saintly about eating pate like this

@BarbaraofSeville 'homeopathic paste sandwiches'

@pyracantha I think a pate on bread photo / diagram is needed😀

This is hilarious, good work OP.

If four of you aren’t getting through a tiny tub across several days, I don’t think you’re eating the pate right.

Maybe try a different ‘treat meal centrepiece’. 🫢

You don't have to be. These are made up just for fun

Perfection 👌

Sooooo good 👌

Weird

No one eats it here but I quite like it so it goes off. I buy the pack from lidl that's split into two vacuum packs portions.

This. I want to know where to find Ops massive pate!

4 of you eat it for dinner and then it’s used for 4 portions of breakfast a day for several days and you still can’t get through it??
I’m trying to picture the standard size of pate and I can’t imagine how small the scraping must be to still have loads left, and one of the meals is dinner with only a salad!
