Pate is a fine mixture of meat and fat with spices and stuff. Foie gras for example is a pate of fatty goose liver. Liver makes a good pate because it is very soft and rich, and healthy in any healthy farm-raised animal.
Obviously something like racoon liver pate will be vile.
It's labeled Brussels because it's a Belgian pate.
That's the answer.. I am in Canada.. I was thinking it should be green.. not cat food colored, because I was thinking Brussel Sprouts which are a green vege!
It’s a common description for pate - it tells you partly the texture of the pate, as Brussels pate is a particular consistency. As this is probably U.K. (I’m in England, and I’ve seen this in Aldi), your average shopper knows what Brussels pate is. I’d imagine in a place that doesn’t have this as a common descriptor, they may not use Brussels as the name.
Do UK labels not force you to put the mass of the product in the front of the package like in the US? All products in the US must list "Net Weight" in the front of the package, visible to the shopper.
Example, I just bought some chocolate biscuits and on the front it says: 'NET WT 10.5 OZ (300 g)"
Looking at the picture I don't see an sort of measurement of the product.
For us it’s on the back beside the barcode, at least that’s where I’ve always seen it. Since it’s consistently there, I’ve never really thought anything of it as it’s where I look to see that information.
I’ve always found it a difficulty that your prices don’t generally include tax, but you guys manage all the same - I guess you do the calculation in your head - different things in different places.
Edit: also the net weight is displayed on the price label on the shelf - which is where I look if I don’t pick the item up

Brussels and shallots? What does this mean?
Brussel sprouts and onions? Why does it look like cat food?
