For some reason last sat I had strong cravings for tartex pate, something I had two years ago and didn't particularly like at the time.
I drove around everwhere on sat with no luck finding it, I was devastated.
On sun I manged to get some from the health food shop on smith st (also have it at other healh food shops).
Now I am fully and trully hooked.
I'm onto my 3rd can now and have the 4th one waiting.
I've tried plain, herb, mushroom and will open the olive soon.
Mushroom is by far my fave and I don't even like mushrooms but they all taste amazing. Great on crackers and in a sandwhich (toasted or plain). My omni mother thinks it tastes a little like tuna. But i don't think its quite that fishy (never been much of a fan of fish).
It is added to my list of foods to serve for my house warming, for an apartment I haven't even started looking for yet.
I'm starting to think though perhaps I should try making some, this long weekend I will try the 'How it all vegan' recipe which I know I had at Ms Honey's years ago but can't quiet remember. Anyone else tried tartex and tried re creating it? At $4.95 per can its becoming a slightly pricy habit.
Disclaimer: I should probably say I've never had real pate, in fact the whole idea of real pate scares me so i can't compare it to the real thing.
This sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteWish there were a way to get this in the country where I live, but alas, alas, I'll have to wait until I return to the States.
And, on another note: glad to hear about you job.... gratitude is such a great thing, indeed.
Never had it, but I'm sold! Too bad they couldn't come up with a name more appetizing than Tartex. It sounds like some kind of adhesive.
