Not one to let a total deficit in the caper and parsley department stand in the way a version, therefore, of Sam's thrifty chicken liver pâté. Chives stood in well for the parsley and while little can be substituted for capers perhaps a swirl of cream and a few more twists of pepper can provide a modicum of interest. The sun is out, chilly when standing in shadow but with a glass of Alsace Pinot Gris combined with fresh bread slathered with the pâté who cares - it's Spring!

Aha - I was wondering what wine I should pair with the pate since you got me all thinking about that!
did you use the same wine in the recipe?

Actually I used a splash of an English ale instead of wine (forgot to mention that) - the Curious Grape IPA mentioned on spittoon.
Although I havent tried it a dry amontillado sherry apparently works extremely well with chicken liver pâté - this I think would be simply blinding with your caper infused verson. I was going to open a soft Merlot with mine; but didn't have any to hand!

aha fred owes me a bottle of sherry.
Would amontillado work in a sherry trifle too, or do i need to get a cream?
I grew up in Bristol so all we ever had was Harvey's...
Persoanlly I usually only have a bottle of maderia or marsala in the house and use that for sherry in recipes instead

Bristol Cream is all my mother ever uses but I always thought that dry sherry was the one you were 'supposed' to use in trifle.
Try the maderia with the liver, I reckon they are so interchangeable that it should be a good match too; assuming it is dry of course.

Nice pictures! I made liver pate (my mum's recipe, with a dash of cognac) pretty much on the same day as Sam. Now I have to wait until everyone has forgotten you two's pretty pictures before I can post mine:)
