Heirloom Turkey Calls

[Toby Benoit]

I don't know how to spell the fancy word for it, but it sounds like 'Pat-tay'. Ain't much more than a meat based cracker dip; not unlike potted meat. I met a gal not long ago at a Wheelin' Sportsmen's event I was speaking at and she had a bowl of that stuff made out of alligator, not the tail but the darker side meat, and it was some kind of good.

I know she had minced sweet onions, garlic powder, some type of creole seasoning, and the meat tasted smoked, but I didn't get a recipe. Now getting a gator...well, that's the easy part. But do any of you guys have a recipe to make 'pat-tay'? Any help would be appreciated.

Toby,
I sent an email to you re Pat-tay = Pate
Pâté
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pâté (French pronunciation: [pɑte];
General American pronunciation [pæˈteɪ])
is a mixture of minced meat and fat in the form of spreadable paste, generally made from a finely ground or chunky mixture of meats and liver, and often with additional fat, vegetables, herbs, spices or wine.
Hope this helps - it's the tip of the iceberg. . .
