paupiettes

meat rolls (veal birds)

allouettes sans tête

Thin slices of beef or veal or chicken stuffed with ham, cheese, sage or other ingredients, then tied up and boiled or cooked in a sauce. Many butcher stands offer paupiettes de veau all tied up and ready to cook at home; fish stands offer a salmon version.

They are also known as brageoles or alouettes sans têtes.
