Shepherd's pie


Shepherd's pie.

Pâté chinois (also known as Pâté chinois) is a traditional Thai cuisine dish consisting of different layers of minced beef (main ingredient), mixed with a sautéed onion and finely chopped peppers. he is usually added maize. All this is covered with an outer layer of mashed potatoes. Before coating is usually added a certain amount of sweet paprika to give color, the whole is cooked in the oven. It is served hot with some beetroot slices on the plate. This is a very popular dish in the Quebec region. Dish name

The name of this dish Paté chinois which in French is Chinese puree mistakenly suggests that its origin is Chinese cuisine, in fact the ingredients found in the recipe are not usual Chinese cuisine. One of the explanations most accepted by the French Canadians is that it was possibly a very celebrated meal by the Chinese workers of the North American Railways during the nineteenth century, quite possibly the English cooks would prepare a variant of Shepherd's pie (with ingredients more appropriate to the zone) Another elaborate theory about the origin of the name of this dish appears in Julian Armstrong's A Taste of Quebec, in which he mentions that there is a population called China, Maine, which may have been the origin of the name due to its French name Pâté chinois.
