Remarks

Of course, if you don't have both sorts of asparagus, either one will do just fine.

You can use a different cut of white meat instead of the filet mignon, such as veal or chicken.

Here is a personal version of the famous country pâté. It's an interesting recipe to prepare in large quantities because it keeps well and freezes easily. The secret of a good pâté is of course the ingredients, but also how it is cooked.
