Eat the answer, week 4
Last week’s question was: What comes after the hors d’oeuvres? I’ve decided not to stand on ceremony; I declare all your answers correct, be they main course/plat principal, the fish dish, entree, or burong penoy. Some of my friends believe that every meal should begin with dessert (or consist entirely of desserts).
The winner of the raffle is. . .entry no. 26, gemini. Congratulations! We’re treating you and a companion to hors d’oeuvres and a main course at La Cuisine. Please post your full name in Comments (It won’t be published) and tell me when you intend to collect your prize, and I will make the reservation.

We asked Jean d’Orival of La Cuisine for a more difficult question this week, and this is what he came up with.
What is the French name of the soup with the following ingredients: Chicken carcass and legs, Leek, Carrot, Tomato, Crêpe, Celery Stick, Onion with Clove, Egg White, Thyme twig, Laurel leaf, Parsley, Salt, and Ground Pepper?
Don’t look at me, I can’t cook at all.
Post your answers in Comments. We’ll accept entries until Saturday, 26 June 2010 at 7pm. All the correct answers are eligible for the raffle on Sunday. The winner and her/his companion will eat the answer, plus dessert, at La Cuisine, on the date of their choice.
La Cuisine is on the ground floor of Paseo Parkview on the corner of Sedeno and San Agustin Streets, Salcedo Village, Makati near Makati Sports Club. The restaurant is open 7 days a week from 10 am to midnight. For reservations call 501.5202 or 752.0335.

The soup is called Consommé Celestine. Detective work clues are egg whites and crepe. I wish first answers can get an edge.

btw, should you find yourself at Fleet Street in London, you must visit “Ye Old Cheshire Cheese”. it’s the oldest pub in all of London. and it was frequented by Charles Dickens, et al back in the old days. they also have the best fish and chips in the area. ;)

btw, somebody told me it’s a bit weird to have “Crêpe” in the soup. maybe it’s a typo?

Other than French fries (which is not even French to begin with), the other French dish I know is ratatouille. So thank you to the movie that came out a few years back.
Not even sure, but I think it’s RATATOUILLE.
June 21st, 2010 at 23:06
I think it’s poulet sauté chasseur.

June 22nd, 2010 at 08:43
Sounds like chicken stock, but then that wouldn’t count as “soup”, so– chicken consomme?

It’s a clarified broth with herbed crepes a.k.a Consomme Celestine.

Basic chix soup starter: bouillon de volaille, but for the crêpe and egg whites, which makes it a soupe célestine.
June 24th, 2010 at 13:32
C’est Consommé Celestine! The crêpe serves as a garnish.
