INTERNATIONAL: OLYMPICS: BRAZIL: Food 7 - Photos, Videos and Recipes - Desserts or Pavés

The Brazilians have taken the pavé

to a whole new level. (See photos of Brazilian Pavés below)

pavé

Pavé: (pronounced "paw vay" in French but couldn't find Portuguese pronounciation)

A French term most often used in reference to a square or rectangular-shaped serving of food. The term "pavé" translates into a word that means "cobblestone"

or a similar square and rectangular-shaped item. Thus, the term is often used to describe a sweet or bland cold mousse that includes meat, poultry or fish cut into the rectangular or square shapes for individual servings. The mousse is coated with a covering of aspic.

Pavé may be used to describe small rectangular blocks of cheese, such as Pavé Blesois or Pavé de Chirac.

And, this term can also refer to a rectangular-shaped, frosted and layered sponge cake dessert filled with sweet ingredients.
