Toothpick Appetizer Tray
Our earthy-colored pâtés look and taste great with many accompaniments, such as cheese, berries, and vegetables. Skewering a combination of your favorites on a toothpick will leave you with an incredible appetizer in no time:

Our vegetable pâtés pair wonderfully with sliced vegetables. Try a dollop of our Curry and Bell Pepper on a slice of cucumber or spread into the crevice of a piece of celery or bell pepper.

Include cheeses on your skewer for a different texture and added flavor. Our favorites are bold, hard cheeses like Cheddar and Gouda

For a sweet treat, add chunks of orange to a skewer featuring our Grand Marnier country-style pâté.

Cherry tomatoes add a pop of flavor and a bit of moisture to any combination.

For a heartier appetizer, add pieces of chicken, beef, or lamb to your skewer with cooked wedges of new potato and our Black Peppercorn Mousse.

Cocktails for Two

Whether poured neat or on ice, Cognac make a sinfully scrumptious pairing with our Duck Liver Mousse Pâté.

For a classic cocktail, try a Champs-Elysées Cognac – all it takes is 2 ounces Cognac, 1/2 ounce yellow Chartreuse, 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice, ½ tsp sugar and a dash of Angostura bitters. Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and shake until cold.

Cozy up next to the fire with a nice glass of sherry and a slice of our Chicken Liver Mousse – it's sure to keep you toasty on a cold winter's evening.

Gin and tonic or vodka cranberry cocktails are tried-and-true favorites that contrast well with the flavors of our earthy pâtés. Or keep it extra classic with a dry martini and extra olives.
