I've liked other recipes by Ricardo, but this one just did not please us that much. I think it was mainly a texture thing - this is a mousse-like consistency, and that somehow just did not work with the liver. I would also add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the pate. This was very interesting to try, and I definitely see it as a dinner party type of dish.
