Hello everyone,
A menu item. I'm not sure regarding "à l'anglaise" and "pommes gaufrettes" (perhaps hashbrowns?)
Thanks in advance!

You could offer this but ask for the client to confirm the "à l'anglaise" interpretation. As Moira says, chefs make up their own rules these days.

grilled calf's liver English style served with potato gaufrettes
Not sure what the Engish style refers to (cooked to death? ;-)), but every chef will have own definition no doubt! Potato gaufrettes or pommes gaufrettes - see http://www.ex.farmfrites.pl/product.php?pid=26

This site describes pommes gaufrettes as latticed wafer: http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/6454/pot_recipe.html - but the photo on the first site quoted gives you an idea what they look like. Rather than "served with", "garnished with" might be another option - or even "on", as then they would serve to soak up any juice. Dishes can also be served in a gaufrette basket (e.g. see http://www.finedinings.com/gaufrette_baskets.htm) but use of plural suggests this is not the case here.

according to the Scribo Dictionnaire gastronomique and Luce's Dictionnaire gastronomique - can also refer to fish or meat that is boiled before being sautéed or fried. A gaufrette is normally a sort of wafer - maybe a very thin potato rösti?

: Doesn't make a lot of sense to me --- wouldn't that be simply 'pané'? And it's not AFAIK a way we cook liver in England either...
