liver pâté
Savory meat spread
Liver pâté is a smooth, spreadable paste made from cooked liver—typically chicken, duck, goose, or pork—blended with fat, seasonings, and sometimes cream or cognac.
It's served chilled as an appetizer, spread on bread or crackers: We started with liver pâté and crusty baguette.
Foie gras is a luxury version made from fattened duck or goose liver.
