Maggie Beer Pheasant Farm Pate


Taste

This pate from the famous Maggie Beer range is sweeter than others. It comes in a round tub instead of the rectangular slab. It doesn't hold its shape but is more mousse like. The pate itself is great, but I don't really enjoy the whole berries that are buried in the pate instead of just on the jelly on top. I found the jelly is a bit sweet and come off in chunks.

Rating - 6.5

Look

The prettiest of the lot. It comes in a black, non see through tub. Best of all, it's easily resealed for any unfinished product - and who can eat this in one go? The jelly layer was a light champagne colour and very pretty. Maggie has also printed her philosophy on the side of the box.

C-factor

220g for $6.99, about on par for pate, and it's a great price for the quality.
