Pâté Chinois is similar to, but not Shepherd's Pie. The recipe is not exclusive to the province of Québec. Pâté Chinois is a traditional French-Canadian dish served by generations of French-Canadian families througout Canada, including the provinces of New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba. The recipe dates back to the Canadian trans-continental railroad construction days. The ingredients essentially include layers of ground beef and onions, creamed corn and mashed potatoes. It is indeed commonly served with ketchup or ketchup vert (green tomato chow chow).

Regarding the comment to "Pâté Chinois is similar to, but not Shepherd's Pie", in Montreal, it's always translated from Paté Chinois to Shepherd's Pie, even on restaurant menus.


Pâté Chinois is just the french name for Shepherd's pie. It is essentially created the same elsewhere in Canada and probably even in the US too (ground beef, cream corn, (peas,) mashed potatoes, paprika). The author(s) of this article probably though everyone outside Quebec had the British variant (cheese on top) which is not the case. This article is redundant and should be merged with Shepherd's pie 24.81.199.249 01:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
