OMG that all sounds SO DELICIOUS. I had to look up paté de campagne and I found a recipe that contains pig in three different forms. Mm, French food!

YOUR PRESENCE ENHANCES THE FLAVOR OF EVERY FOOD and the niceness of every mom

And you're all like, "I gotta call my friend jactitation and invite her out for some eats," right?

I'd love to! But you never come down here. I suppose I'll have to make the trek up there if I'm going to spoon pate into you.

"Spoon pate into..." swoon

Actually, since my most belovedest prof_southbay is moving down to LA in a month or so, and since my ex-who's-still-quite-loved-although-optimally-from-a-distance-most-of-the-time just moved back down there, I'm likely to be making forays at least that far.

"Forays." As in food-gathering trips. (Which is actually how I treat LA, because there's only crap Ashkenazi Jew food up here in SF. So I have to get smoked fish, and pastrami, and better bagels...you get the picture.)
