Made the recipe according to directions and won't give it any stars. Not good at all!!

This was very tasty even though I left out the cognac and parsley. I didn't shape it into a log just whipped it real good and left it in a dish so it could be spread on crackers. I didn't saute my onion as I liked the crunch that they added to the pate.

Great recipe. Added some shallots, fresh thyme, fresh tarragon and parsely along with the cognac ( I sued Aspach) and it was delicious and a big hit at the last party I took it too. Like Kittencal, I sauted my onions a bit in some butter first. Otherwise just followed the recipe. Well done. The DH won't go near it - bad liver memories from his youth but I could live on this and pumpernickel. Thanks papergoddess for a winning recipe.
