| Sourdough Bread | To be served especially at beginning of meal. Standard American sliced bread or even what usually passes for French bread here, which contains sugar, milk, butter or oil and egg, ill-compliments most appetizers which are themselves savory rather than sweet. As a substitute, try the boule de campagne which also contains none of these "cake" ingredients. |
| Eggs Mimosa | Hard-boiled egg halves filled with mayonnaise and placed on a serving tray garnished with lettuce; run yokes through garlic press over the tray. Sprinkle with fresh-ground pepper and/or minute amounts of paprika for color. See Eggs Mimosa. Serve with sourdough bread. |
| Roast Chicken | Roast upright after rubbing with olive oil, mustard, salt, pepper and thyme. |
| Potatoes | Pan-roasted, diced potatoes seasoned with salt, pepper, rosemary and onions added just before the browning point. The potatoes should not be prepared too far in advance; they take about 20 minutes at most and should only sit during eating of the appetizer course (oeufs mimosa). |
| Green Vegetable | Choose without strong taste to avoid overpowering chicken. |
| Apple pie | |
| Drink | Serve meal with well-diluted white grape or apple juice. |
