Pâté lorrain

Summary

Pâté lorrain is a savoury dish from Lorraine in north-east France. It now usually consists of a meat terrine or pâté covered in pastry, usually puff, occasionally shortcrust, but was formerly made without a pastry case. It may be served warm or cold. The dish is regarded as emblematic of Lorraine, and there is a fraternity devoted to its promotion and protection.
