Definition:

A kind of delicate forcemeat, commonly poached and used as a dish by itself or for garnishing.

Noah Webster. Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
---
a mixture of creamed fish or meat, sometimes combined with breadcrumbs, with a light egg binding, formed into an egg-like shape, and then cooked. The usual preparation is by poaching. Formerly, [they] were often used as a garnish in haute cuisine. Today, they are more commonly served sauced as a dish in their own right. Similar items are found in many cuisines.
