forcemeat

Seasoned ground filling

Forcemeat is a mixture of finely ground meat, fat, and seasonings used as stuffing or to make sausages, pâtés, and terrines.

The force comes from an old word meaning to stuff.

Traditional forcemeats combine pork or veal with herbs and binding agents like eggs or breadcrumbs: The chef prepared a classic forcemeat for the galantine.
