Default Menu Help

Hey Dad - I'm planning my menu for the next two weeks - and I have a couple of
dishes I'm looking for a complementary side dish for - can you think of
anything?

Corned Beef Sandwiches (like you make with the deli mustard)

French Dip Sandwiches

bbq Chicken Sandwiches

I'd like to stay away from French fries or tater tots.

Cole slaw for the Corned Beef and/or BBQ.

Corn-on-the-cobb for the BBQ.

How about seasoned oven-fries for the French Dip?

I don't care for cole slaw by itself, but it would go well with all those
sandwiches. Potato salad would be another good option. If you want
something hot, you could go with some kind of white bean soup.

Cole slaw for the corned beef ... or perhaps a chilled beet salad

Maybe that pea & cashew salad for the bbq chicken, or a how about a
black bean & corn salad

French dips beg for fries IMO

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to the group, and I'm hoping someone may be able to
help.

My father used to be a manager at Le Biftheque (http://www.lebiftheque.com)
about ten years or so ago, when the restaurant was in the states (I think
they are only in Canada now). The restaurant has the most wonderful dessert
I've ever had, called Millefeuille. My father cannot remember the recipe
for the dessert, he used to know it by heart but as he's gotten older he can
no longer remember it. His birthday is coming up and I would love to make
it for him, as it was a family favorite of ours when I was younger.

I remember some things that were in this dessert: it had two layers of
graham crackers (one bottom layer and one on the top), two layers of a cream
or pudding (yellow and white), a top and on top of the graham crackers on
the top there was white icing drizzled with chocolate. It looks a lot like
a Napoleon but this dessert definitely tasted a lot different and it was
much better. I've tried to wing it, not follow a specific recipe and make
it from memory, but I always fail miserably.

If anyone knows how to make this, I would love to have the recipe.

Thanks
Carrie

This seems to be almost exactly what you are looking for.

"MILLE FEUILLE"
2 pkgs. vanilla pudding (cook and serve); 1 (6 oz.) and 1 (3.4 oz.)
1 box graham crackers
1 pt. heavy whipping cream
6-8 oz. chocolate chips

Layer 9x13 Pyrex dish with graham crackers. Cook pudding according to box
directions. Slowly pour pudding over crackers. Cover pudding with graham
cracker layer. Beat whipping cream, then cover over graham cracker. Melt
chocolate chips, then sprinkle melted chocolate over whipped cream. Chill
1-2 hours before serving.

MILLE FEUILLE means a thousand leaves and was made with very flaky
pastry (like filo) I have never seen your recipe Wayne

You're absolutely right. The recipe I posted was one I had found on the
web, but no personal attrib. available. I've never made it, but it met the
OPs request. I suppose some folks might really like it. I doubt that I
would care for it very much,as I'm not overly fond of graham crackers or
boxed puddings.

I've also seen Mille Feuille made with pre-baked puff pastry. It can be a
lovely dessert with a homemade pastry cream filling.

Cheers!

That explains why this thread keeps making me think of milfoil:

Although Wayne's recipe sure sounds good... :-)

This is good. But using lemon pudding instead of vanilla is better.

Yes, I imagine it would be. Reminds me of Lemon Ice Box Pie which I've
always liked. The recipe I posted I don't personally care for, although it
seemed to be what the OP wanted. I don't like graham crackers and vanilla
pudding together.

What a horrible murder of a wonderful pastry! Mille-feuilles are made with
puff pastry.

Mille-feuilles are a type of pastry consisting of two thin sheets of pastry
laid on top of each other like a sandwich with jam and cream spread on the
inside and a thin layer of icing (usually lemon icing) on top.

The word mille-feuille means thousand leaves in French

I hear ya. I can imagine a delightful yet less cloyingly sweet dessert
if made with pastry and pastry cream. Simple and yet elegant.
But my real question is: how do you pronounce that "feuille" part?

Yes, Helen, I know all of that, and I agree. I was just trying to give the
OP what she was seeking.

I have eaten and made the original kind and love it.

I found the following at Allrecipes.com. It looks more traditional
than Emeril's:

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups milk
7 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 whole vanilla bean
3/4 cup castor sugar or superfine sugar
1 pinch salt
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 (17.5 ounce) packages frozen puff pastry
1/2 cup apricot preserves (optional)
confectioners' sugar for dusting

DIRECTIONS:
In a small saucepan, heat milk until small bubbles form. Drop in the
vanilla pod, remove saucepan from heat, and set aside to cool until
just warm. In a medium saucepan, stir together the flour, sugar, salt,
and egg yolks. Beat for a moment, then gradually whisk in warm milk.
Simmer over medium-low heat until the custard thickens, stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Transfer custard
to a bowl, and allow to cool, stirring from time to time.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out the puff
pastry into a single sheet about 1/2 inch thick; it should be the same
size as a 17x14 inch baking sheet. Place the pastry onto the baking
sheet, and prick all over with a fork.
Bake in preheated oven for 28 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool
pastry on the baking sheet.
When the pastry has cooled completely, transfer it from the baking
sheet to a hard surface, and cut lengthwise into three 4 to 5 inches
wide strips. Spread one strip thickly with custard. Place a second
strip directly over the first; spread the top evenly with jam. Cover
with the third strip, and dust with confectioners' sugar. With a very
sharp knife, cut into 8 rectangular portions.
