 Named after the character from one of the greatest television shows ever, "Hogan's Heroes". Corporal LeBeau was a fierce French Patriot and supposedly the first prisoner in Stalag 13. He was also the Chef for the randy band of Allied POW's and was always making amazing food with whatever he could find around the Camp. He would often bribe Sergeant Schultz with goodies and made friends with the Camp Guard Dogs with treats, allowing him to use the tunnel under the dog house. The actor who played Lebeau, Robert Clary, was a French-Born Jew who was deported to a Nazi Concentration Camp with his 13 Brothers and Sisters and the rest of his family in 1942. 12 of his family members died during their imprisonment until they were liberated in 1945.
This one is pretty simple: Get yourself a Baguette, Brie, and a Pear. Slice the cheese and fruit thin and place on the heavily buttered bread with a drop of Dijon Mustard. I grilled mine, so I cut the bread a little thick. Brie is a soft cheese and melts quickly so keep an eye on it. If you do it right, you'll be able to bribe the Guard on duty so you can sneak out of the Camp and blow up the Nazi Ammunition Depot....F**K those guys. Nazis suck.
