When this was served to us in school it was always called, China Pie. I don’t think I’ve heard it called that since then.

That's from the Quebecois term for it: "pate chinois".

Yeah it was Chinese pie for us too. I make it still for my family, but add flavor and good ingredients

I've heard it called that as well. Interesting to see some of the explanations for it!

Checking in here to say my family also called it pate-chinois, but there was never really any understanding of it translating to “Chinese Pie” or whatever, that’s just what it was always called and passed down as such
