In several of the finest of Rome’s gastronomie (prepared food shops) and rosticcerie, one finds a reading of this coarse sort of country pâté, prepared by the Romans with the prowess of French charcutiers. Sometimes, its middle will hide the Cognac-steeped livers of game, while others are studded with hazelnuts or truffles or wild mushrooms. This one, though, has become one of our “house” terrines. Some evenings, we like to make a supper of it and a good bread and wine. We have been known, more than once, to use it to build little panini, sandwiches, which we wrap in yellow napkins and hide inside my purse with a small silver flask of red wine to take with us over the mountain to Chianciano when we go to see a film. It tastes so good in the dark.
