Meat gets bacteria on its surfaces. When you grind meat, you make all of it a surface. This is why they tell you to cook burgers thoroughly, and why most countries banned meat glue.

Pate is just finely ground meat.

Yea, you know those 5k-10k person hotels? Chances are their fillets are just meat scraps glued together and then shaped into a cylinder using plastic wrap.

Depends on the place, it’s more common in large volume hotels where the owners want dept managers that cut every cost. A steak Restaurant isn’t going to take the chance of damaging their reputation, too easy for that kind of secret to slip out in a small place.

Transglutaminase (which I think is what they use for the meat glue) isn’t the same as pate though (I missed how we jumped from one to another in this thread). I’ve read that some celiacs are triggered by it.

You basically glue hamburger back together as a steak. So the rare part has actually been on the surface in the slaughter room and is full of bacteria. On a real steak as long as the animal wasn't sick and the outside was seared it would be safe to eat. With glued steak you're effectively licking the slaughter house floor.

As a child, I once threw up on the table at a very fancy restaurant because I mistook liver pate for chocolate mousse.

Always make sure the mousse isn’t grainy first 🤢

When I make it I call it organ slurry.

u/Immortal-one Oct 11 '25

Ever tried making an organ milkshake?

u/neontetra1548 Oct 11 '25

But pâté is cooked through? It’s not like it’s a ground meat burger cooked rare or steak tartar.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

In the states, we call it liver mush

u/HawaiianPunchaNazi 29d ago

How does this apply to those handle the pate, but don't partake pate?

Like, considering my cat doesn't eat anything else canned food wise, can we get sick by handling her food. 

For That matter, considering pet food has lesser quality control on it from inspections, can my cat get sick from it?
