Mel, I just figured out you would be the perfect person to ask this: We have a family recipe handed down for at least 5 generations from a gr-gr-gma from Montreal. It is for egg dumplings with chicken, like a really hearty chicken noodle soup, and it's always been called "Glissants/Glissance". I know that literally translates to "slippery", but is it a colloquialism for noodles too?
