[Sca-cooks] pate, terrine and rillettes?

[Johnna Holloway]

Most of my major charcuterie books are boxed. I was thinking last evening
that one of those might have a history in it but then I decided probably 
not.
La Varenne provides good bedtime reading. In my case I did get the pages
marked before falling asleep, although I didn't quite bestir myself 
enough to
get out of bed and write up the post last night.
