Puzelat & scallops

Gambas, camarones. Maybe it was misspelled and they left out the 'e'.

I'm not sure when gambas is used vs camarones.
 
It was exotic enough for the waitress to tell me what they were; I was imagining flat fish.

"Gambas" is used in the rest of France. But nothing with a "c".

My 1938 Larousse Gastronomique only knows of "pastis" that it is a pastry from the Barn region. Who knew?

I've heard of this in the Lot where it apparently requires a massive table (and long arms) to be rolled out, somewhat like strudel. Although I don't bake much so I could be totally off with that comparison.
 
Isn't there a dish like this with Pernod? I'm away from my Larousse.

Not, after a semi-cursory scan, in the 1998 (English) printing. But I've had something very much like this in France, minus the bacon, though I don't remember where.
 
Gambas Au Pastis. From Marseilles. Where pastis is often added to bouillabaisse too.

And yes, there also do St Jacques au Pastis.

On certain (rare) occasions for dinner I've had a bowl of raisin bran and milk, along with a glass of wine.

Really? What wine?

The way they describe it in the Larousse is as a kind of sugary thing you make rise with levain de pain - but there's no flour in it! 12 eggs, 500g sugar, some fleur d'oranger and a shot of eau de vie. Weird. You pack it in a terrine, let it rise overnight, then bake.
