As to the 'nice' part, it's all about perspective, isn't it. 
Let's all go for a sail and make Doug by the beer or whatever goes with a good pate. |
OK, I admit, all good points.
But regardless of its merits, dubious or otherwise, pate has never been my bag. I say we stick with good ol' grass-fed steaks, a big bordeaux would be great, but in deference to our host perhaps a salty lassi or strong Turkish tea would do just as well, with a sweet finish of my mom's pecan pie. After an appropriate interval, the waning flavor notes could be further enhanced by a leisurely sampling of Cuba's finest. I think that would be a great evening.
