Taste
I tried the Duckling and Brandied Apricot. At first taste, I wasn't very impressed, it was bitter and overly alcoholic, but once I was warmed to the taste however, I was quite impress. This pate is more subtle than the normal chicken liver pate. It's not as bold in flavour and has a more gamey taste. Made by Just Entrees, the apricot jelly was actually quite bitter and very nice.
I also tried the Duck Liver & Mandarin. This one has a strong pate taste, but the mandarin made it bitter. Still, much better than the supermarket stuff.
Rating - Apricot - 7.5, Mandarin - 7.5
Look
Quite pretty, if you like the look of pate! I had a piece cut from a great log.
Rating - 1.5
C-factor
$18.99/kg for the Duckling, $22.99/kg for the Mandarin, not a bad price to pay for pate.
