This seems to be the right place to attempt to pick the brains of the P/H gourmets, chefs and their OHs.

When I was but an embryo, I took my gf to France. In Dinan, we found a very tasty savoury snack. Returning 30 odd years later, I found said snack conspicuous by its absence. In the hope of finding an ID and a recipe, here's the gen...

The items resembled sausge rolls and were about the same size. They were in some sort of flaky pastry (choux?).
Inside, they were filled with soft cheese and the roll ends had strands of grated cheese embedded in the filling. They were served cold .

The nearest thing Google has to offer is Gougères. These are 'airy cheese puffs' but are spherical and contain gruyere. The cheese in the snacks I found was very mild and only the grated ends tasted especially 'cheesy'.

Any ideas/ info gratefully received.

'Fraid not sorry, nothing crunchy or cake like in the original, just some choux crispiness. Thanks though.
