Plural of fromage; multiple cheeses, especially used in French culinary contexts or menus.
French plural form of 'fromage', formed by adding '-s'. English often borrows French culinary terms wholesale, preserving the original plural forms to maintain sophistication in food contexts.
When English borrowed 'fromage' and other French food words, it kept them fancy-sounding by using French plurals—you'd say 'fromages' at a French restaurant to sound more cultured than just saying 'cheeses.'
