What is the difference between a ballantine and galantine?
Galantines are whole birds, bones removed, stuffed and then reformed
Galantines have the skin removed, Ballantines do not
Ballantines are produced by removing the bones from poultry legs, blending the meat to form a filling, and replacing the meat in the skin to form a boneless leg portion
A poultry forcemeat (or farce) can be created by blending diced and trimmed flesh to a smooth paste with egg white and cream
