Pâté Rendezvous:
Import a French Pâté Perspective Today
Pâté has a reputation as something lavish – a gourmands-only luxury reserved for the most sophisticated palates. While certainly a sumptuous delight, pâté is much more accessible than many American foodies realize.
Just look to the birthplace of pâté, France, for everyday pâté inspiration. The French serve pâté casually for lunch, snacks and casual meal appetizers. Or simply with a glass of wine to relax after work, at home or in cafes.
In France, fresh pâté is often bought at farmers' markets. Here in America, look no further than your grocery store. Alexian offers the same earthy colors and smooth, airy textures as the artisanal patés of France. With a mixture of all natural ingredients and decadently flavorful spices, Alexian makes it easy to see what makes pâté one of the quintessential French snacks.
So indulge the French way with the easy, casual elegance of Alexian. Just ask participants in out recent "Pâté for the First Time" contest for more reason to reach for pâté!
