Funny you mention that — I had almost the exact same craving a few weeks ago here in the U.S.! I went down a rabbit hole trying to find something like the pate de campagne I had in Lyon. Ended up ordering some online from a U.S. store and was honestly surprised — not identical, but definitely close enough to bring back those cozy café memories. Paired it with cornichons and sourdough, and it totally scratched the itch.
