peer agreement (net): +1steak with (aromatic) herbs Explanation: The "appétits" are aromatic herbs, sometimes also spices, stimulating the appetite such as chive, shallot, garlic, rosemary, oregano, savory, etc. Here I copy the definition given by the Grand Robert : "b Par métonymie. (xviie). Cuis. | Les appétits : herbes aromatiques et apéritives. | La ciboule, la ciboulette, la civette, l'oignon sont des appétits. 18.1 Au xviie siècle, on entendait dans les rues de Paris le refrain du marchand d'herbes : Je vends oignons et échalotes / Que l'on crie bons appétits. Dict. de l'Académie des gastronomes, p. 70. 19 C'est un abatis de poulet que je vous fais réchauffer. J'y mets quelques oignons pour allonger la sauce, avec quelques appétits. J.-R. Bloch, Sybilla, v." |

| Reference Reference information: For "appétits", Harraps gives: (a) appetisers, seasoning; (b) chives. This appears to be backed up by the following link: PUREE DE POMMES A L'ANCIENNE AUX APPETITS* ("les appétits" refers to fresh chives and the likes, which help open up the appetite) http://www.promenadesgourmandes.com/moxie/kitchen/18.shtml See also this (very recent) previous question: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/cooking_culinary... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 mins (2008-08-15 13:40:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A picture of one type of "pavé" (also "aux appétits") http://www.platorepas.fr/plateaux_repas/Plat_O_repas_c8/Plat... |
