Pâté chinois

Pâté chinois is a popular Quebec dish consisting of a layer of ground beef, a layer of whole or creamed corn, and another layer of mashed potatoes on top. This comfort food staple can be found throughout most cafeterias in Quebec, where it is traditionally served with tomato ketchup on the side. The name of the dish means Chinese pie, and it is believed that it was invented during the building of the Canadian railway in the 19th century by Chinese cooks, who adapted it from the famous shepherd's pie.
