Chris the Cheesemonger is one of my favourite stores in St.Lawrence Market - a true this gem. Great staff, huge selection, and top quality ingredients. This pate was not entirely up to standard because it was too subtle on taste. That said, it was silky smooth in texture, not at all liver-like, slightly sweet, and little bitter nuggets of pink peppercorn plays off of the subtle saltiness.
The jelly was flavourless, so definitely they missed an opportunity to add some a sweet or winey touch to the Pâté.
Overall, okay.
From wikipedia:
Pink peppercorn refers to spice made from dried berries of the shrub Schinus molle. Jars of pink peppercorn may also be labelled "baies roses."
