Fond blanc & crepinette
French to English

It appears on a menu - is it simply a small crepe?
Fond blanc - this is used to make a salad dressing, along with oil, vinegar and meat juices. Is it translatable, or should it stay in the French?

white stock / flat sausage
To assist the diner, in addition to maintaining the cachet of the menu, it is wise to use a judicious mix of French and English------------
Taken from Termium:------------------------------------------------------------------------
fond blanc = white stock s CORRECT DEF - soup stock made from veal or chicken without colored seasonings and often used in white sauce. --------------- I think I would use "clear stock" rather than *white*, so it doesn't sound too insipid.----------------------------------------------------------
Not a crèpe at all! crépinette s FEM Synonymes: saucisse en coiffe saucisse plate In English, *flat sausage* I think I would put *crépinette sausage* in the English, to keep the French "flavor" of the dish. Frankly, "flat sausage" sounds awfully flat indeed.

I would personnaly leave the name in French, as is often the case when it comes to "haute cuisine."

light stock + crépinette sausage
Fond blanc is a stock made with white meat, usually veal.
Crépinette may be either:
- a small, flat sausage encased in pork or mutton membrane tissue, or
- a fillet of meat or poultry enveloped in caul membrane
The crépinette definition is taken from the tiny but exhaustive:
The A-Z of French Food (Ed: Scribo, 37 rue du Chemin Vert, 75011 Paris)
ISBN: 2-9503317-0-X
I believe there is also a French-Spanish version.

Fond blanc = White cream base sauce
In Quebec, un "Fond blanc" is a white flour and butter based sauce. You can have a fond brun (brown based sauce/gravy) as well. It is certainly not a 'clear stock', not in Quebec anyway. It's also refered as a 'roux'.
Crepinette is a flat sausage. In both cases you may wish to keep or incorporate the original French words, it is a popular option for a 'classy sounding' dish on menus around the world.
I hope this helps!

White stock & Crépinette sausages
Since the fond blanc is being used to make a salad dressing, it seems like "white stock" would make the most sense in this context. I also agree with the translation "crépinette sausages", but I have another definition from a book called "La Francia al Ristorante" which might give you more insight.
On page 68, crépinettes are described as being small rectangular sausages, often stuffed with truffles, which are usually eaten with oysters over the Christmas holidays. (from Southwestern France)
