What is used to make pate?

Pâté is typically made from a combination of ground meat, fat, and various seasonings. Common ingredients include liver (often from duck, chicken, or pork), herbs, spices, and sometimes additional elements like vegetables or alcohol for flavor. The mixture is blended until smooth, then cooked and often served chilled or at room temperature. Variations can include different meats or even vegetarian options, but the creamy, spreadable texture remains a defining feature.
