The Best Pâtés in Brooklyn: Traditional to Non-Traditional

The first time I had a traditional pâté was as a toddler at a family friend's party. My mother handed me a pâté morue(salted codfish), and it's still my all time favorite to this day, with beef coming in a close second. I love the slight dryness and flakiness of a traditional pâté, especially for the nostalgia it brings. Now, pâtés have changed, less flaky, more buttery and slightly soft.

Based on my cravings, here are the best pâtés in Brooklyn, from traditional to non-traditional.

translation to creole:

Premye fwa mwen te manje yon paté tradisyonèl se te lè m te timoun piti nan yon fèt lakay yon zanmi fanmi. Manman m te ban m yon paté morue (moru sale), epi li toujou pi renmen m nan tout tan jouk jounen jodi a, vyann bèf la vini nan dezyèm plas. Mwen renmen ti sèk ak flokon yon paté tradisyonèl, sitou pou nostalji li pote a. Kounye a, paté yo chanje, mwens flokon, plis bè ak yon ti jan mou.

Dapre anvi mwen yo, men pi bon paté yo nan Brooklyn, soti nan tradisyonèl rive nan non-tradisyonèl
