Paté - Crackers or Toast?

[lang rabbie]

If there is no freshly baked pain de campagne (and a large jar of cornichons to go with the paté) then it has to be toast.

 

[nogoodboyo]

The only wierd one is your workmate.

Agreed. Tell him he's a clueless fucking idiot.

 

[SubZeroCat]

Wholemeal toast.

It's so much nicer on toast, I once had toast/pate/watercress sandwiches when I had the munchies. It was delicious.

 

[Floh]

Has to be toast!

 

[zenie]

Hmm ......

TOAST!!!!!

 

[pogofish]

I think I've actually had pate on crackers before but it was admittedly at a lower middle class household in Essex. They even had net curtains.

Yup, crackers with pate. Trying too hard!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Oi pogofish...why have you posted a picture of me?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

btw, try insisting on paté on crackers in France and see what happens.....

 

[Donna Ferentes]

What's French for "crackers"?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Well, there isn't really an equivalent...Biscotte?

 

[guinnessdrinker]

Well, there isn't really an equivalent...Biscotte?

the idea of biscotte (a toasty kind of cracker?) and pate is rather strange . biscottes are made to be covered with luscious jam for breakfast.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Nah, biscotte is really French Toast...I was struggling to get a connection...anyway, I was brought up in an Anglo-French family and crackers and paté were never mentioned in the same breath. Crackers are an English thing, to have with cheese, and cheese like Cheddar, or Wenslydale maybe. Not paté. The paté/crackers thing makes me thing of the poor deluded fool who thought Spaghetti Bolognese was pasta with ketchup on it

 

[guinnessdrinker]

Nah, biscotte is really French Toast...

with a cracking feeling as you bit into one, so says this biscotte connoisseur.

Which side of the toast/cracker divide do Van der Meulen's packaged "French Toasts" and "Melba Toasts" fall?

 

[SubZeroCat]

en fou

fou

or if you're doing verlan - ouf

French Toast is thicker than melba toast....

 

[pianistenvy]

Crumpet or Croissant?

Which would be your preference for pate-smothering:

Crumpet

or Croissant?

isn't French toast what posh people call eggy bread

 

[Ms T]

Toast or nice crusty bread. Cornichons are also a must.

Croissant

philistine

 

[pianistenvy]

Croissant

philistine

but if you smear a crumpet in pate it will all drip down the holes. mmmm gooey

 

[Echo Base]

Crumpets are WONDROUS food.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

Crumpets are WONDROUS food.

but not with pate

 

[guinnessdrinker]

but if you smear a crumpet in pate it will all drip down the holes. mmmm gooey

it does not justify the waste and torture of a good and innocent croissant

 

[pianistenvy]

but not with pate

nah it's not! but marmite and melted cheese is pretty good

 

[Callie]

Although I do eat pate and bread I think I prefer it on toast - the rich claggy texture of pate needs a bit of crunch imo and toast does that nicely.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

nah it's not! but marmite and melted cheese is pretty good

don't start me with marmite

 

[Callie]

I wouldnt eat pate with either crumpets OR croissants unless Id run out of all other options for things to spread pate on. weirdo
