The phrase of the day is "a la polonaise", a French phrase meaning 'in the style of Poland'. There are a million interpretations of this, of course, but generally it refers to a cooked vegetable topped with a mixture of finely chopped hard-boiled eggs, bread crumbs, parsley and butter then broiled briefly to brown the breadcrumbs.
Try it on cauliflower, asparagus or brocolli some time!
Or one of your favorite jokes, for that matter...
