A toque blanche is a tall, starched, white, pleated hat worn by chefs, although the "blanche" is nearly always dropped. The term literally means "white hat" in French and may have come from the old Spanish toca. The many folds on a chef's toque are believed to signify the many ways that an egg can be cooked. Many toques have exactly 100 pleats.
