Well, how about a period onion soup recipe? I used to think of onion 
soups always being made with the brown broth, but that is perhaps a 
French style. Most of the period onion soups seem to be white. For 
various recipes and reviews of them, you might check this Florilegium

Uh, was the croissant stuffed with both the chicken curry and the pomme 
frites? Or do you mean the pomme frites were served separately? I would 
usually expect the latter, but potatoes seem to be showing up in a lot 
of things like breakfast tacos and such these days.
