  • About
Originally a pâté was specifically something cooked and enclosed in pastry, the term being applied to fruit and vegetables as well as forcemeat. With the passage of time, however, it came to refer more to the pastry’s content rather than the container and to imply a savoury dish exclusively.

Thus we find now pâté en croûte and pâté en terrine, and logically, terrine (the traditional container) to mean not the pot in which the forcemeat was cooked but also the cooked forcemeat itself.
