pâtés
Savory liver spreads
Pâtés is the plural of pâté, a spreadable paste of seasoned ground meat, often liver, sometimes enriched with fat or truffles.
The word is French, and the circumflex accent distinguishes it from paste or dough.
The charcuterie board featured several pâtés.
The accent is often dropped in casual English: pates.
