Vege pate in Montreal. Does it have nuts in it?

[babermoon]

Please excuse me. I am new to this board and this might be a stupid question. i have a nut allergy, but am trying to find new ways to eat as many vegetables as yummily as possible. Does vege pate usually contain nuts or seeds or such? Where can a tasty vp be found?

i'm not sure if it contain nuts, i haven't had it in a while but the best vegep paté in montréal is the one they make at les copains d'abord on mont-royal

Veg Pate is very easy to make. It also keeps well. I'm definitely not a veg head or someone who eats very healthy. But I make it and eat it for snacks with some olives and bread.

I would be careful with seeds as often they can be processed with nuts.

Thank you all so much! I work in the Eaton Centre and I'm trying to come up with nutritious things for lunch and snacks. The food there... well, I'm sure you know.
I am not a vegetarian, but I want to eat healthier on a daily basis. Comensal (sp?) is across the street, but is three flights of stairs up and I have bad knees. They also use a lot of nuts.

You could make your own, but végé pâté is mainly based on sunflower seed, flour and yeast, so it's not the best way to get your vegetables!

Fun fact: It was invented by the French during WWII because meat was scarce...

Cuisine Pur Plaisir makes some nice vegetarian terrines. I prefer these to the heavier veggie patés that are based primarily on sunflower seeds. I don't see nuts in the ingredients, but there are seeds. Here's the Green Peppercorn info...my favourite:

TERRINE: Fresh vegetables (tomato, onion, green pepper, red pepper, carrot, potato, garlic), water, canola oil, soy protein, apple fiber, olive oil, chicory fiber, rice flour, sesame butter, sunflower seeds, pea protein, flax seeds, amaranth flour, cider vinegar Lyfe, nutritional yeast, green peppercorn, garbanzo flour, sea salt, beet powder, spices, natural aromas. JELLY: Water, lemon juice, carageenan, maple syrup, sea salt.

Not sure where they're available in Mtl, but I buy them at IGA Extra in Gatineau.
