Mon choux marche avec...

Yes.  IED gratefully endorses this new alternative 
nonetheless -- the word "choux"  had always seemed
a little oddly inflected, hadn't it?  And the "marche" 
reading makes for a logical, complete phrase.
The second syllable would be the latter half of a poetic pronunciation of the
word "marche" (as "marche-euh", so to speak) -- a stylistic nicety that Kate
Bush made sporadic use of in "Un Baiser d'enfant" and "Ne t'enfuis pas".
