*Judi's Note #1: Glace de Poulet is chicken stock reduced down to a glaze. It has intense flavor and is nonsalty. It has no preservatives, chemicals, msg, or sugar. It can be purchased at:
http://www.morethangourmet.com/products/poulet.htm You can add this to your own homemade chicken stock to enhance the flavor.
**Judi's Note #2: Piment de esplette is a hot pimento-type pepper (not as hot as cayenne) but hotter than Hungarian pepper. It is grown in the French Basque country and adds a little heat to a dish without overpowering it. It is great with omelettes filled with tomatoes and onions, and other dishes that call for a little heat. You can purchase this at http://store.yahoo.com/chefshop/acpimdes.html This is a very useful pepper to have on hand and is well loved all over Europe especially in Basque country where it is preferable to black pepper.
