Plural of bouchee; multiple small pastry cases or mouthfuls of food.
The plural form of French 'bouchée,' maintaining the French spelling and pronunciation conventions when used in English culinary contexts. Standard pluralization following French grammar rules.
When English adopted fancy French cooking terms wholesale during the Victorian era, we even kept their French plurals—which is why you'll see 'bouchees' on menus rather than the anglicized 'boucheeseses'!
