The pate is very overpowering and gives the stuffing an odd texture. I've made many fresh stuffings and I prefer them with sausage/ mince meat. Teh flavours are lovely in this stuffing though, and you only need a very small portion - half a muffin tin each did us this Christmas day.

This stuffing was very good. I did add meat from 3 cumberland sausages as I usually make sausagemeat and chestnut stuffing but I think the pate would have worked fine by itself. Will use this recipe again.

Fantastic recipe - have made this every year for the last 4 years! Have tried other stuffings but this one keeps getting requested.

Made this last year and have been requested to do the same again this time! A definite hit and easy to get right.
