Anywho, I don't do goose liver pate, so I usually substitute chicken
liver pate', but we saw an alternative pate' on one of our local cooking
shows yesterday... Long story short:

Take some chopped 'shooms, (plenty of) crushed garlic, onions, herbs
(of your choice) and some ham - then shove the lot into a blender to
make the pate'. Have gotten this far <lol>. Added a little red wine to
make it "moist" (so sue me!)....

So far, so good: It looks like pate', has the consistency of pate' - and
it smells/tastes good so far... Wish me luck!

So you and 2-D Jack grew a gourmet, did yas??? <VBG>

Please continue with the experiment! I'd like to know what it
tastes like after the rest of the stages.

That is similar to my approach the first time I tried Beouf en Croute,
which called for ingredients made with other recipes in the book, 4-5 sub
recipes to make the dish. One of them was mushroom flavouring. Another was
liver pate, and they were to be mixed. I sautéed the livers and the
mushrooms and threw them into the blender together.

James,

It was "nice". Not bad, not good, not fantastic - just "nice". I've had
much better results with my "normal" pate'.
But I had fun trying... LOL
