Pâté chinois (pronounced: [pɑte ʃinwa]) (known in New England as Chinese pie) is a French Canadian dish similar to English cottage pie or shepherd’s pie or French hachis Parmentier. It is made from layered ground beef (sometimes mixed with sautéed diced onions) on the bottom layer canned corn (either whole-kernel creamed or a mix) for the middle layer and mashed potatoes on top.
