Fun stuff :)
Given that pastez and pastry and pate all have the same roots it might make
sense that some of the meat pie fillings could reasonably be extrapolated to
a terrine like object.....
Hmmm. I'll have to do some re-reading...I could have sworn there were some
potted meat recipes (potted shrimps?) in the later Elizabethan corpus....
I'm not necessarily talking about a smooth pate...a chunky rillette would
do....
Hooray for stinky foods! :D

I think we dug into this quite a while back and came up with nothing
really resembling pate (much to my disappointment). I suppose some of
the meat pies could come close if the meat were ground finely enough.
There is a recipe for chopped liver in Du Fait de Cuisine though.
(my interpretation - http://recipes.medievalcookery.com/liver.html )
Blast. Now I'm craving pate and foie gras and fried liver and stilton
and all those other wonderfully stinky foods.
