Miki Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'll have a stab. Where we used to live in the SW France, it used to be in one of the butchers and if the Mrs remembers well, it was a kind of pate and that sounds as if it was semi cured?Miki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill<br><br>Jill (99) Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 My guess is that Mique is a trade name, and it refers to tinned Petit Sale which is a dish from the Auvergne consisting of lentils and Petit Sale. Petit Sale, as I understand it is a sort of salt pork which seems to be somewhere between plain pork and gammon. I've had plain grilled/fried Petit Sale in the restaurant owned by French friends in Normandy, but have eaten the proper Auvergne one in Mont Dore, as well as buying William Saurin ones for emergency rations. It beats baked beans, any day!Jill (99) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazanton Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 'La mique est une boule de pte poche au bouillon qui fait office de pain avec les soupes et les plats en sauce'So something like a cross between a matzo ball, dumpling and poached bread?Here are some recipeshttp://www.net-creation.fr/terroir/pages/r_farin01.htmhttp://perso.wanadoo.fr/auberge-de-conceze/auberge/auberge07.htmlhttp://perso.wanadoo.fr/yves.huot-marchand/Perigord/recette08.htmhttp://www.quercy.net/gastronomie/mique.html Belinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
