meat paste

Ground protein spread

Meat paste is a smooth, spreadable preparation made from finely ground or pureed meat, often mixed with fat and seasonings.

It serves as a sandwich filling or appetizer spread: toast with meat paste, a jar of chicken paste.

The term covers products ranging from pâté-like preparations to humbler canned spreads.

In British English, meat paste is a traditional pantry item; elsewhere the category includes liverwurst, potted meat, and similar preparations.
