parmesan sticks

"Longuette" is something of a mystery word, but everything would point to this being what I and others would call a parmesan stick, a long narrow piece of pastry baked with parmesan worked into it, often with sesame seeds on top. A variant on my bacon wheels.

It all started from a meal at Pizza Hut. I ate the Parmesan Stick while it was still hot, and the deli wings as well.

Comment on the above:
A light creamy goat’s cheese mixture was piped into a standard cone on top of sun-dried tomatoes (which I think had some interesting crunchy bits), the parmesan stick (nice too) was the 99 bit. The cone let it down as it was nearly as soft as the day. Mini versions with homemade savoury wafers would be very good, but for €6 or €7 I shouldn’t complain

Serve piping hot with something crispy and dainty, like a parmesan stick. The expensive suggestion involves lobster. (One and a half pounds of live lobster ...

agree Carol Gullidge : yes, although the "busybooks" recipe is the same as for cheese straws, but calls them parmesan breadsticks - perhaps Euquimod is not wrong after all!

agree Melissa McMahon : this suggests the right size to me - 'cheese twist' also came to mind, but that styling's probably a bit seventies...

bread stick

It's also called a "gressin"
Peer comment(s):

agree Irene McClure : It's originally Italian and the word 'grissini' is often retained in English recipes. See http://www.paperthetown.com/bread/b563.html and http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/4648/grissini-bread-sticks, the latter also has a photo of some grissini!
25 mins
agree Esther Lavedrine : Definitely bread sticks, given the description of the ingredients involved.
37 mins
neutral Carol Gullidge : I don't think grissini are made of choux or puff pastry. I have no problem with this being used as a garnish, simply with the ingredients - which don't sound like any sort of bread!
45 mins
neutral raj_gup : As the verb is "décorer" does a cheese-bread stick still apply?
57 mins
agree emiledgar : I don't see a problem with a breadstick (one word by the way) being a garnish.
1 hr
neutral Mark Nathan : breadsticks do not usually contain cheese or butter
3 hrs
neutral Melissa McMahon : agree with carol et al, this is explicitly a rich pastry item, which puts it in a separate class to a bread stick imo.

strips

how about cheese slices or strips? I think in the context, strips makes sense.

hope this helps.

straw

cheese (parmesan, in this case) straws are often made of puff pastry, so this is a possibility.

I also wonder if "longuette" is a typo for "languette"

NB, the following are languettes DE parmesan and not AU parmesan, and there are few g-hits, but it remains within the realms of possibility (?)

In any case, I'll stick my neck out for "cheese straws", because this fits the ingredients

Sorry, "parmesan straws" !
Peer comment(s):

agree sueaberwoman : Les cheese straws s'appellent généralement allumettes au fromage en français, mais vu la pâte, c'est bien ça.

thanks sueaberwoman :) This is certainly a tough one, as the only g-hit for "longuette au parmesan" is this question!
