Forcemeat is like meat play-dough that chefs use to make fancy dishes like pâté and sausages.
To make forcemeat, they start by picking a type of meat like pork, chicken, or duck. They chop it up into tiny pieces and mix it with other ingredients like spices, herbs, and sometimes even other meats like bacon or liver.
They put all of these ingredients into a machine that grinds them up even more until they become a smooth, paste-like substance.
Chefs can then shape the forcemeat into all sorts of cool shapes, like little balls or even a whole roast. They can also add other things to it, like fruits or nuts, to give it more flavor.
And the best part? Forcemeat is usually served cold, so it's perfect for fancy parties or events where people want to show off their fancy cooking skills.
