A tale of two pâtés

I had a hankering for pate today so I bought 2 different types in Dunnes.
 
This one was the cheaper of the two.  It is very artificial tasting.

 
It is also a strange pink colour!


The other pate I bought is from the Blue Haven Food Co in Kinsale, Co Cork.
 
It is fresh and home made tasting and deliciously smooth.

It is also a fairly normal colour!

As an aside, what colour are your eggs?
 
Here in Ireland, there seems to be only brown eggs on sale.  I am always amused to see white eggs in America when I visit.  I used to think they bleached them but now I know that certain varieties of hens produce white eggs while other varieties produce brown!


A little LCHF snack I made for my husband.
