Say it: keesh loh-REN (approximate English pronunciation)

Quiche Lorraine is a savory tart associated with Lorraine. Its egg-and-cream filling includes bacon or lardons, and it may be sold whole or by the slice. Other quiches use vegetables, cheeses or different meats. A menu that simply says quiche therefore does not necessarily mean this particular version.
