Dad's Chicken Liver Pâté

This was one of my Dad's signature dishes when I was growing up (1950s-60s). Didn't have food processors back then; he used his heavy cast iron meat grinder that clamped onto the table. People raved about Dad's "chopped chicken liver spread," especially my siblings. I was never a liver eater, other than braunschweiger sandwiches, so it was a hard pass for me. However, my sister/roommate Dee-Dee makes it to quiet her cravings, and it's quite tasty! Note to my grandkids: Remember that our tastes often change as we age.
