Do you mean bavarois: Bavarian creme?

Excuse me if I am coming in sideways...I never saw the original
question, but a "bavoir" is a "bib" in French, if that makes any
sense.
Um...er...where was I? Oh, yes...macaroni and cheese...
best if made with a smooth oil-based bechamel and
thin strips of jalapenos to liven the party.

I just checked my Larousse dictionaries printed in Paris for the French. My first
response about bavette being a child's bib was from the Larousse to Pouche (pocket
Larousse); it only gives the single bib explanation. After your response I decided to
check my Petite Larousse (small Larousse, but still 6.5 cm thick versus the 2 cm thick
pocket version). Petite Larousse give the bib explanation first, but then continues with
bavette being a cut of beef, also called the pot-au-feu; since I don't know American beef
cut locations, I can't tell what the equivalent is from the diagram, but its halfway down
the side towards the back end.
There is also a third definition for bavette: it is the skin folds under the beak of
certain geese.
There is also a larger French dictionary, the Grand Larousse, but I don't have a copy of
it.
The Petit Larousse still only gives the single bib definition for bavoir; still not a
food.

a "bavoir" in french is not at all a dish
"baver" means saliva dropping out of your mouth,
and a "bavoir" is normally for children (as adults manage to keep it in
their mouth...) it is a sort of towel you put around your neck
adults use it when they eat potentially dirtying stuff like seafood, or
lobster
bon appetit anyway

I do! Both of these come from the Roux brothers' patisserie book. - Rebecca
Grand Marnier Bavaroise
300 ml milk
4 egg yolks
80 g sugar
1 1/2 leaves of gelatine
60 ml Grand Marnier
250 ml double cream
Make a creme anglaise with the milk, egg yolks and sugar, and cool to room
temperature. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 20 minutes then drain well.
Gently warm the Grand Marnier and stir in the gelatine. Beat the cream till it
forms a ribbon. Stir the Grand Marnier into the cooled creme anglaise, then
*carefully* fold in the whipped cream.
Chocolate Bavaroise
100 g plain cooking chocolate or couverture
300 ml milk
3 egg yolks
20 g flour
1 leaf gelatine
300 ml double cream
Soak the gelatine in cold water for 20 minutes. Break the chocolate into pieces
then make a creme patissiere with the chocolate, milk, egg yolks, sugar and
flour. Drain the gelatine then stir into the creme patissiere. Leave to cool to
room temperature. Beat the cream till it forms a ribbon, then carefully fold
into the cooled creme patissiere.
In the recipe I have, the Bavaroises were marbled together in a sponge lined
flan ring and left to set for 4 hours in the fridge, and served very cold.
Butter 2 ounces 60 grams
Onions, minced 6 ounces 170 grams
Heavy Cream 20 ounces 600 grams
Eggs 6 each 6 each
Gorgonzola 5 ounces 140 grams
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Sauté the onions in the butter until they are translucent. Cool them.
Combine the onions, Heavy cream, eggs, and Gorgonzola cheese in a mixing
bowl. Season to taste.
Spoon the custard into buttered 4-fluid ounce (120 milliliter) ramekins.
Bake the custards in a bain-marie in a preheated 350F (175C) oven until
a knife blade inserted in their centers comes out clean. Serve the
custards hot or at room temperature, either molded or in ramekins.
