Pate Chinois is similar to the British recipe Shepherd's Pie, but it's from the Quebec region of Canada. Pate Chinois translates to 'Chinese Pie', though it's not completely certain why it adopted that title. Some claim that it's because Chinese cooks introduced the recipe during the building of the railroads in North America in the 19th Century, and the recipe was well received among the railroad workers who then brought their favorite recipe home to share.
