EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: Country p�t� at Fork:etc.

Stumbled across a most excellent deal in Old City last week: At Fork:etc (308 Market St.), you can cop two thick wedges of housemade country p�t�, toast, cornichons, a dried fruit mostarda and mustard for a mere $7.50.

What goes into the p�t�? "Pork, pork and pork," jokes Fork owner Ellen Yin, but she's not actually joking � head chef Terence Feury and sous chef Andrew Wood combine meat and liver from a whole hog with eggs, a bit of cream, thyme, shallots, garlic, brandy/cognac and breadcrumbs, and season it with coriander, clove, cinnamon and allspice before wrapping it all up in bacon. It's perfect for an unconventional lunch � and you can also take a pound of the stuff home for $22.

Eat this immediately.
