Tasting Patchwork Pate

By Chip Griffin

The folks at the Patchwork Traditional Food Company sent along some samples of several different pates that they are now offering for sale here in the United States. The company was started by Margaret Carter at her home in North Wales in the United Kingdom about 25 years ago. 

Today, they are entering the American market with pate made in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania using the same techniques as the original. The samples I tasted in the above Cork & Knife TV segment include Triple Sec and Orange, Tequila and Cranberry, Bourbon and Blueberry, Brandy and Herbs, and something called Welsh Dragon's Pate, made from venison liver and chili. The first four are all made using chicken livers.

My favorite of the tasting was the Bourbon and Blueberry. Watch the complete video for my take on each and learn which ones I would take a pass on in the future.

Watched your pate demo' avidly as we are about to stock pates and terrines made by an artisan producer situated in a village close to our home in France, we are also going to sell these Terrines on Borough Mkt, London, as you will know this is "THE" foody market of GB, we would love to provide you a tasting, because you would be stunned, these are the best Pates I have ever tasted. Not counting G.B. Pates because in my opinion, we the Brits', do not make Pates & Terrines, we make liver meat loaf, or liver sausage mixs. These French ones are gutsy meat or vegetable creations, and are roughly chopped, not minced, with the smell and taste of real country food, Brandy and wine would be used in some, but not as a gimmick, just as a developement of many years of knowledge. If liver is added it will be because it belongs, not as a filler, ie., Terrine de Lapin, would have a rabbits liver, or part thereof, Wild Boar, the same, Pete de Compagne, may not have any, and none for the veggy ones of course, We can only describe these to you, unless you can come up with a shipping methode, or next time in London, come and see us.
