A fact from Tureen appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 September 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the world's record auction price for a single piece of silver was achieved by a silver tureen made by the Parisian silversmith Thomas Germain in 1733, sold in November 1996 for US$ 10,287,500, triple the former record?

So why did my aunt bring a dish to Thanksgiving called a "Tureen of Wild Bird parts" which was more of an aspic or pate (except nothing was ground up, livers, kidneys, etc were whole - which is what, she said, made it a tureen instead of a pate)?
Alternate use of the word?
