There was a point in my life when I would have been hugging a porcelain rim at the sight of pate. However, I grew the fuck up, put on my big boy pants, and dived into one of the most perfect culinary creation ever created. Pate, or as I like to call it, ‘meat butter’, pairs well with so many cheeses and fruits making it a charcuterie classic. Today I picked up a couple meat butters, and this is what happened:
(Global Foods)
Walking into Global Foods can be quite intimidating for the average shopper. It can feel like walking into your very first sex shop. You’ll keep discovering things you never thought possible. For me, a seasoned foodie, it pretty much is porn. So, just like the guy who frequents his favorite porno palace, I zipped right over to the pate. Goose and lobster lined the shelf and were conveniently merchandised near thinly sliced German pumpernickle. Well played, Global Foods. Well played.
The whole drive home was consumed with what-to-do thoughts pertaining my pretty pate. I hurried into the kitchen, warmed the toaster oven, and sliced some ‘maters and onions. With the pumpernickle toasted, I layed each slice down spreading a generous amount of goose pate on one with the other receiving a light brush of whole Dijon mustard. Finally, the tomatoes and red onions were sandwiched in between the two slices. As I began to bite into this magnificent meat butter sammy, my eyes closed and I was magically trasported across the pond dining with the finest European foodies.
Sound pretentious? Maybe it is, but for less than $3 for each of these items, it sure the FORK isn’t.
