pate

1n 2n

Your pate is the top of your head, but say it with a French accent et viola! Now it’s a savory spread made of ground meat and spices. Pate (the food!) is sometimes served with bread or crackers.
Although it’s like paste, some pates are considered a delicacy, like pâté de foie gras, the rich French dish made from goose liver, while other pates are made of different types of meat or even vegetarian ingredients. The pate you eat is usually spelled with its French accents — pâté — so you know to pronounce it with the emphasis on the final syllable, tay. A plain old pate is a jokey word for the top of the head that rhymes with fate.
