Garde Manger — Forcemeats
Substituting butter for back fat — different melting point, the forcemeat leaks grease. Over-baking past 68°C — the liver dries and becomes grainy. Using liver that has not been trimmed of bile ducts — bitterness throughout. Failing to test-fry — the high liver content makes seasoning assessment by eye impossible.
