terrine

Cold meat loaf

A terrine is a deep, rectangular cooking vessel with a tight-fitting lid, typically ceramic or enameled cast iron.

The word also refers to what's cooked in it—a coarse pâté of meat, fish, or vegetables, pressed and served cold in slices: We started with a duck terrine.

The dish is associated with French country cooking.
