Description
When World War I broke out in August of 1914, American expatriates quickly established a military hospital, the Ambulance Américaine, on the outskirts of Paris. The theme dishes on this menu celebrating Bastille Day in 1915 include vol-au-vent “Joffre,” a puff-pastry case filled with a savory mixture in a richly flavored sauce, named after French military commander Joseph Joffre.
