📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pâté chinois means 'Chinese pie' but isn't Chinese food; it's Quebec home cooking: fried ground beef, creamed corn, and mashed potato layered and baked. One theory for the name is that it was served to Chinese laborers building the railway. It's eaten with ketchup.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a weekday dinner in a Quebec home, a golden pâté chinois comes out of the oven as the children race to add ketchup.
