Apart from the question about "à la façon des moutardiers (I guess I can use the original plus a gloss), can it be assumed that "volaille" is chicken and not turkey (the word "poultry" on a menu just seems weird)?

Thanks in advance.

Roasted Bresse Chicken, "Mustard-Maker Style"
Explanation:

This reminds me of the way that a chef I once worked with used to open those nice grey ceramic jars of Meaux mustard with the red wax on top.
Put the whole pot in a hot oven for about four minutes and then, with a the point of "couteau d'office" and a deft flick of the wrist, toss the lid into the bin (assuming you are about to use the whole pot to make half a gallon of mustard sauce).
Do not, as the apprentice did, forget about the pot. This will result in a dull thud as the top explodes and hits the roof of the oven, followed by a weary exchange of glances and an unpleasant salvage operation.

Explanation:
Sorry, can't help with the 'moutardiers' bit (although it does imply 'with mustard' - unless it's the opposite, i.e. they get so sick of the sight of mustard, they'd rather eat anything but?), but these sites:
http://www.glorieusesdebresse.com/
http://www.pouletbresse.com/intro.htm
definitely confirm that it's chicken and only chicken that's involved. Also, "Bresse chicken" seems to be an accepted culinary term: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q="bresse chicken"&btnG...

neutral  Robin Holding: This answer is correct, but I must admit that"mustard-maker style" doesn't sound very appetizing. I think I'd prefer "Mustard-Roasted Bresse Chicken." By the way, there's a tasty-looking recipe for "mustard-roasted chicken" at the following address -- ht
