“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Mock French Pate

 

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter, * see note
1 lb fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup onions, minced
1/3 cup celery, chopped
2 eggs
3 oz cream cheese
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp basil, crushed
1/4 tsp rosemary, crushed
1/4 tsp oregano, crushed
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground



 

Preparation

Recipe by: Felicia Pickering * plus butter for
greasing the pan

Butter a 7-by-4-inch loaf pan. Line with wax paper, leaving an
overhang of about 1 1/2 inches all around to assist in lifting out
the pate later.

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Rinse, dry and finely chop the mushrooms. You should have about 5
cups. In a large saucepan melt the butter, and saute the onions and
celery until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl beat the eggs and cream cheese until smooth. Add the
bread crumbs, salt, basil, rosemary, oregano and pepper. Stir in the
onion mixture and the mushrooms. Blend well.

Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan. Cover the top with foil, and
bake until firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool in the pan until lukewarm.
Remove from the pan, using the paper overhang as an aid. Serve at
room temperature with crackers as an appetizer.

Serves 12 to 14.
