Great video of Chef Jacques Pepin doing a Galantine of Chicken. (Edited for video)

[A HERETIC I AM]

My menus from the SS United States encouraged me to look up what a "Galantine of Capon" was, as it was on the menus a time or two. A YouTube search gave this superb example of the procedure of boning a whole chicken such that it can be rolled around a stuffing.

I am doing this tonight myself, and will put up a thread of the process in a few days. In mangled (or Google translated!) French I am going to make a "Galantine de poulet aux champignons, jambon et épinards".

A Galantine of Chicken stuffed with Mushrooms, Ham and Spinach.

Which I'll probably change!


Anyway, this is the kind of video in which YouTube does its best service, in my opinion. Instructional and or interesting and short.

Watch carefully. Chef Pepin makes it look so very easy.

And he was so young.

4. He served as the executive chef on the cruise I took with my family last year

Food was wonderful and service the same.

5. I like him.

Our PBS affiliate had one of his shows on every Saturday until earlier this year. I miss seeing him.

The food on your cruise must have been excellent!

8. On this program, he'd sometimes show excerpts of himself with Julia.

They had good chemistry.

Not as funny once the "'shock value" wears off.
