Saute & blend the pate. Chill or serve warm. Slice the salad ingredients and make the dressing. If taking to go, package the salad, dressing, pate, and French bread separately.
There are pate lovers and pate haters. I am a lover. My husband is a hater. But, I may convert him, because apparently Liverwurst (aka poor man’s pate) was his first food as a baby when he swiped a scoop of it off the table and slurped it down happily. Our simple blend of mushrooms, onions & chicken livers made me swoon with joy. He tried it and claimed to ‘not hate it’. What amazes me about pate is how it is cheap and quick to make. Poor guy, marrying me means there may just be a lot more pate in his future.

Okay. This is not exactly a recipe, but rather sometimes the best pairing for your meal is a crusty loaf of French bread. My family lineage is French, what can I say crusty bread seems more appropriate then not. So, here it is.
Let’s call it a reminder. In addition, here are a few tips on how to store it, keep it fresh, or use it up. Whenever possible try to find those crusty gorgeous whole-grain varieties.
