A terrine is a type of dish that is typically made from a mixture of meats, vegetables, or fish, which are cooked and then set in a mold. The ingredients are often layered or blended together, creating a rich and flavorful result. Terrines can be served cold or warm and are often accompanied by bread, pickles, or sauces. The term "terrine" also refers to the earthenware or ceramic dish used to prepare and serve the food. This cooking method has roots in French cuisine and is similar to pâté, but terrines usually have a coarser texture. They are popular for appetizers or as part of a charcuterie board.
