HUNGRY GERALD

HG is pretending to be in Paris. Just like when HG has been seated in a Mom-and-Pop bistro, HG begins dinner with slices of Pate de Campagne (farmland pork and chicken livers) accompanied by Dijon mustard, cornichons and wine (white or red). The pate has a pleasing rough texture and a hearty taste. HG gets it online from  Aurelian Dufour (HG has a terrine of Pate Normand –pork,apples,onions– that have been sauteed in Port. The Normand is in the fridge.) There are two problems with these tasty pates. They arrive very cold and it takes two or three days sitting on HG/BSK’s bar to reach an edible temperature. BSK objects to this for health/spoilage concerns. Tonight, HG will heat them for 30 seconds in the microwave unit and see how it works out. HG does not want to eat pate ice cream. The other problem with Dufour is while the pates are relatively inexpensive, shipping is quite pricey. So, be judicious when ordering Dufour’s treats.
