    Default British question

    Does anyone know what a volleybon is? I may not be spelling it correctly, but it is something you eat. It can be with chicken or ham etc.
    I ask because of a BBC show I watch, it is mentioned and my daughter and I would like to know. We have googled it and find no answers.
    Thanks!!

    Maybe you could be refering to "Vol Au Vent" which is a small hollow puff pastry in which you can put whatever fillings you want in it.

    As Time Goes By. Stephen plans an anniversary party for his wife Penny. He is carrying a tray of them, but can't remember who asked for them.
    My daughter Regan(11) and I are both "foodies" and have wondered for a long time about this....so thanks!!!

    This word is French then? I always assumed it was English and couldn't find it anywhere.

    I'll look up the recipe-

    Close enough. The definition from wikipedia is:

    A vol-au-vent (pronounced [vɔlovɑ̃], French for "windblown" to describe its lightness) is a small hollow case of puff pastry. A round opening is cut in the top and the pastry cut out for the opening is replaced as a lid after the case is filled. Vol-au-vents can accommodate various fillings, such as mushrooms, prawns, fruit, or cheese.
