Kish - What do they call those tiny little square pasta bits that the serve with half the Savoyard dishes?
As for Reblochon, it's used in that amazing concoction of layered sliced potatoes and ham, called tarteflette. I turned up at a hotel/refuge towards the end of the season, in foul weather, and there was just a family of four staying there, who'd driven up a road and had no intention of going walking or doing anything energetic. When the meal came that evening, it was a huge tray of tarteflette, and I really enjoyed it. The family, who weren't hungry, insisted that I finish off what was in the tray, which was basically HALF of it! Boy, was I stuffed... but it's an excellent mountain dish.

Square stamped mini-lasagna leaves? I bought a pack of those in that region, forgot the exact productname but it reminded me just off flat lasagna leaves but than smaller and square
Incidentally... when I walked the GR5, I walked it both ways, and took in all the variants and alternatives, which took me a total of 70 days. I had nearly all my meals in refuges, restaurants or occasionally gites and hotels, and only on two occasions, in all that time, did the same dish turn up twice. I was just amazed at how much variety there was, even though the basic 'peasant staples' formed much of what was on offer.
