Reblochon cheese, bacon, potatoes and cream baked until oozing. About 2,000 cals/plate The basic lunch in the restos on the hill around Les Gets/Avoriaz in the northern French alps. killer
Oh yummy - sounds like a "heart attack on a plate." Mebbe that's where Splat's heart-attack-during-Christmas factoid comes fromOriginally Posted by SnowyOwl
Here's another good one. I've made this one - it's fantastic:
SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH GOAT CHEESE AND HERBES DE PROVENCE
The blend of dried herbs known as herbes de Provence usually consists of basil, thyme, rosemary and oregano. Sometimes lavender is also included, which adds a flavor that is the most evocative of Provence. An accomaniment to Herb-and Spice-roasted Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine-Shallot Sauce.

1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 cups canned chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 teaspoons herbes de Provence*
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 10 1/2- to 11-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced
*A dried herb mixture available at specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Mix first 7 ingredients in large pot. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Add half of cheese; whisk until smooth. Chill remaining cheese. Add potatoes to pot; bring to simmer.
Transfer potato mixture to prepared dish, spreading evenly. Cover with foil; bake 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until potatoes are very tender and liquid bubbles thickly, about 50 minutes.
Dot potatoes with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese softens, about 5 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
Serves 8.

Used to date a Swede - Christmas Eve saw an amazing spread of food. Bit of a problem for me since meat is off limits for Catholics but somehow I managedOriginally Posted by LAN

What diocese do you live in, cause the archbishop there needs to be taken out and shot! No meat on Christmas Eve. I've never heard of that.Originally Posted by KQ
When my parents were growing up, it was no meat on Fridays and none during Lent (no meat for a month, I would die). Thankfully the Church dumped the year long requirement and switched to just no meat on Fridays during Lent. But Christmas Eve too? I would convert.
My grandfather had the best philosophy on all of this: "Do you honestly think God cares what you eat?" Of course that didn't stop my grandmother from refusing to cook meat on the requisite days. So it remained just a philosophy.

I'm sorry, what did you just say. I was trying to say the rosary and read the board at the same time.Originally Posted by KQ
I have always wanted to try this. As I understand, you toss this in the oven just long enought to melt the cheese and slightly warm the rest. Right?Originally Posted by grrrr
I love proscuitto. Sliced super thin and wrapped around either cantaloupe or breadsticks. And my grandmother has the absolute best figs in the world growing in her back yard. So this would be yummmay!!!

No meat on Christmas eve? I was raised very Catholic (but it didn't stick) and I never heard of that.
Funny, I don't really recall no meat on christmas eve either. I do remember dinner was always around 10pm, then off to be censorboy at midnight mass. Just a ploy to get us kids to sleep in past 6am...

If you Google meat+"christmas eve" you'll get a number of hits that discuss this custom.
