This pâté was a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it was a bit creamier.

I found this pâté to be a bit bland. I think it could use more salt and pepper.

This pâté is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great served with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

This pâté is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a bag of lentils in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
