I know that fries topped with rich veal reduction and chunks of Roquefort cheese are a bit over the top but I couldn’t resist eating them. They are unbelievably delicious! You can buy veal/beef bones from your local butcher. Good quality veal stock is essential for this recipe. You can get it at upscale food markets.
