abstract:Ficelle picarde ("Picardy string") is a dish of Picardy, northern France, consisting of a savoury pancake stuffed with cheese, mushrooms, and ham. Though now considered a classic Picardy dish, its origins appear based in Amiens' l'hôtel du Commerce where a chef developed it in 1950, notwithstanding some legends stating the dish originated in the era of Louis XIV.
