French Country-Style Terrine image

A terrine is a fancy meatloaf that is always served cold. Make it at least 3 days ahead so that the flavours can meld. The adventurous cook can use rabbit loins instead of chicken. From the LCBO's "Food and Drink" magazine.

I had some trouble getting the terrine to set properly. I think I might have needed to cook it for a little longer.

This terrine was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This terrine was a delightful surprise! The flavors of the pork, chicken, and pistachios blended perfectly, and the texture was smooth and creamy. I served it with a simple green salad and a crusty baguette, and it was a hit with my family and friend
