MMM lovely Seed Pate-
I never really got into Pate in my meat eating days but found few versions of this recipe and adapted and made this a few times.

Hey, that's original. Never heard of this. Sounds great though... i've never had "real" pate' ... never will... this sounds great!! i'll try to make some.
Not a big fan of pate in the old meat days. Had it at parties or restaurants. Of course I ate sausages and wursts so I have had similar foods.
Now a Vegan I am trying to duplicate some mouth feel but also avaoiding making meat analogs- but looking for protein in good sources- and fun as well.
