Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Divide the chicken livers into three equal sized portions. Blend one part with ⅔ of the eggs. Blend the second part briefly with the whipping cream. Blend the third part with the remainder of the eggs, the chopped blanched bacon, the brandy, the wine and the flour.

Mix the three blends together very lightly with the ginger, salt, ground pepper, allspice and truffles. Place in a well greased loaf pan and cover completely with blanched, thinly sliced, salt pork. Bake for 1½ to 2 hours (to an internal temperature of 180 degrees). Serve cold after removing some of the fat from the top surface. Be sure stored pate is well covered with a layer of fat or clarified butter.
