At the Artisan Cheese Festival, I was browsing the cheese display with my mom when she did something totally out of the ordinary. She's not an adventurous eater, but to my surprise she took a gigantic chunk of vegetarian pâté! I love regular pâté, but was a little wary of the bright orange, green, and white thing that rested on my mom's plate. I wish I could say it was absolutely delicious but it just wasn't. The texture was weird and the flavor odd. We were both glad we tried it, but aren't running out to purchase buckets of vegetarian pâté. How about you? Would you eat this vegetarian pâté?

I like pate but this doesn't look like pate. It reminds me of those multicolored cakes that you can get in Chinatown bakeries.
1I have no idea what's in that, but it looks okay to me. Then again, I'm okay with eating liver pate, too.
2Good call, misswills--I was thinking that as well!
I would try a little nibble of this, but it doesn't look like something I'd like. I'd rather have some regular old pate.
3I'll try pretty much anything at least once. Doesn't look too appetizing though.
4I would definitely try it. I wonder what veggies it's made of. It doesn't look spreadable like normal pate. It looks more like a tureen of pureed veggies.
5This looks lovely! I am not a big fan of regular pate but I'd definitely eat this.
6I made a mushroom pate once--the flavor was great, but the texture weirded me out. I've never had regular pate though so I can't compare the textures. Then I had a cauliflower/broccoli pate at a restaurant last week and it was great. The texture was a little firmer.
7I don't like any kind of pate. It grosses me out.
8Mushroom pate, yes. Whatever waxy mystery vegetable this is, I'm not so sure.
9I love pate - but this is way too bright
10Honestly, any type of pate grosses me out, it makes me gag.
11well since i'm a vegetarian i would try it - and i'm sure that i would enjoy it although some people probably wouldn't
12I would try it.
13i'd try a bite.
14i'd try it, but i think it might be my only bite.
15Ok, what the heck is it? Cheese? Vegetable protein? It doesn't look all that great (or very great if you like color) but I don't like biting into things I don't know about.

16I like pate, but this stuff looks nasty and just not something Id want to try.
Though, I do have a rule about trying everything at least once.
damn that rule!
17Would I eat it yes.
Would I order it - no.
Would I enjoy it - Probably not but I allow for the outside chance that I might.
When it comes to food my maxim is "Keep an open mind and an open mouth"
18I'm a vegetarian.......but the color of this particular dish is a little scary to me......very non-foodlike!
19Well, as long as something is guaranteed vegan, I don’t care what is in it, I’ll try it! I love new things, and I love being surprised by new tastes. A lot of the snacks that I LOVE now, I did not like at all the first time I tasted them – but they were acquired tastes and now I simply cannot get enough of them. So – bring on the brightly coloured pate for me!
