I don't know why people would consider pate "fancy," as opposed to
liverwurst. :>

Simply put, if one likes liver, pate and liverwurst are probably easy.
I think all three are yummy, but too fattening to eat ad libitum. I
had seared foie gras once and enjoyed it, but wouldn't eat it again
because of the way the animals have to be treated.
