What's wrong with mustard in a croque madame?  Or indeed mustard in anything?

NorthNineteen

Surely it would be wrong not to have mustard in it? I'm sure ones I've had in france had a bit of Dijon in them

Team mustard here too. I like Front Room's croque madames - properly unhealthy.

It was fine once I'd had them remake it, but they've never contained mustard when I've eaten them in France. And undeclared allergens annoy me. Was also unimpressed by staff rowing in the kitchen...

That must have been worth seeing. What kind of boat did they use?

Oh Krappy...

A classic croque monsieur is just ham and cheese, surely? <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croque-monsieur">French wikipedia</a> agrees with me, and only mentions the addition of béchamel as one of many possibly additions for fancier versions. That also solves the mustard question.<div><br></div><div>To get back to the original topic of this thread, the new (or at least it wasn't on the menu last time I went) chicken sandwich at Max's is a thing of beauty.</div>

Ohhhh, tell me more!<br>

It's called Robocoq. Chicken confit, chicken liver parfait, chicory, possibly chicken gravy mayo? Maybe string fries as well? There was a crunchy aspect to it, but I can't remember for sure. Anyway, it was sublime. We also tried the chicken skin crisps, which were delicous, if spectacularly unhealthy.

It's proof of my theory that all meat should be served with the pulped liver of the same animal. A thing of beauty.

Front Room breakfast is OK. Bon Matin's eggs taste of cinnamon. Blue Legume in CE is OK, but Hot Pepper Jelly's is probably my favourite.<br>

I have to admit, and it pains me to say this as I am a regular customer, that I had possibly the nastiest lunch ever at Front Room yesterday. Chicken almost burned to a cinder and overcooked spaghetti over-drenched with fluorescent orange sauce. I didn't complain as I was in a big rush. Pity as sometimes their lunches are most toothsome. Verdict, sadly: inconsistent. Could do better.
