This is the "Country Style Pate" served on Discovery Princess tonight in the main dining room.

😲 🤣

Usually, the Princess "Country-Style Paté, autumn greens, roasted cherry vinaigrette" looks like this:

That looks MUCH better than the original picture in this post!  (I still wouldn't eat it, but that's me. Lol! 😂)

Just like their meatloaf.

I'll pass on both of them.

This kind of food sparks zero interest from me.
 

This kind of thread has every bit of interest from me. 

 

Thanks for posting, @sonomaphil

on the other hand, this type of dessert presentation:

 

 

 

 

always reminds me of this gif:

 

 

I don’t know if that WAS my first thought. But I’m pretty sure that will BE my first thought going forward. An unforgettable visual.

That is bad. I could do a better presentation serving me by myself at home.  They could have at the very least use a small scoop to make a rounded dome of pate on the plate, and cut the crust off the toast. I'm new to Princess and I doubt I'll order any pate on our cruise in August because that picture looks worse than hospital food.

I can’t look at it without thinking about the “thwack” sound it made when it was slapped down onto the plate.

No worries, this food accident is not Princess standard. 🙈

I’m shocked Princess dared to serve that; it seriously does look like cat food!

Commenting on the OP... I would have sent that back.

[Camberley]

Ah the best country-style food: evoking memories of the cattle shed floor…..Princess, you do spoil us!

It’s very good too. I can’t imagine what happened to the poster’s portion.

 

I did have a mousse-type pate start to melt once when the plate I’d grabbed at the appetizer buffet was still hot from the dishwasher. It wasn’t pretty. 😂

I had this last night on Crown Princess and it looked very similar to OP. Like cat irk. But, it was yummy!

Question: When I think of pate I think of goose liver but pate can actually be made from a lot of different meats. What does Princess use for their pate?

Your question made me look up pâté.  I had always assumed it was made of liver only. I knew it didn’t have to be from just geese but thought it was strictly an animal product. It can even be vegetarian.  Now I’m thinking I wasn’t off the mark with my refried beans comment.

That's only because it all tastes the same, like liver. 😉

If so recall correctly, it’s made with pork. It’s a pretty traditional country-style pate. Or at least it always was 🥺

I love how small details like this one seem to capture our collective imaginations!  It's part of what makes this forum so enjoyable.

 

I happen to love pate, and I'm not sure I would have touched this if it came to the table with that presentation.
