Years ago, my Mom used prepare her own terrines and patès. With Autumn coming, this hits the spot with a hot bowl of soup. Enjoy.

AK1,
Thanks. Some cooks or chefs, prepare with pork liver or chicken liver instead of calves liver.
It is delicious ... I like to serve it with pickles, crusty breads, and green peppercorn dijòn mustard.
Great for incoming autumn months with a bowl of soup !
Ciao,
Marge.
