This crops up in the name of a gourmet dish: 'huîtres grillées, lard colonnata, caviar, cromeski de pied de cochon et gelée de pomme verte'.
Obviously, 'cromeski' is not a French word, but I don't know what it means and whether it should simply be left as it is in the translation.
Does anyone know how to handle this term?

kromeski or cromesqui
From http://whatamieating.com/kromeski.html:
"Description: A small ball of minced (US: ground) meat which differs from a croquette in that a croquette is dipped in egg and breadcrumbs rather than batter or caul fat. They are similar to croquettes in many other respects. French cromesquis are coated in batter. Polish cromesquis are wrapped in a very fine pancake and then dipped in batter. Russian cromesquis are wrapped in caul fat. All are then deep-fried. Originates in Russia.

These kind of croquettes seem to differ from others in being deep-fried.

Sorry, the note above should read "This kind of croquette seems to differ..." or "These croquettes seem to differ..." (of course).

Comment: "Thanks (to both you and Tony). It is true that I was a little quick off the mark in posting this question, but I found John's references to be very useful. The old Proz answer didn't come up when I did a search since I did not use the exact spelling of that question."

kromeski
Personally, I'd leave it in its original form, albeit in this perhaps commoner spelling in EN.
Here's what it is, as you obviously could easily have found yourself by doing a quick google:
http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199640...
Kromeskis are croquettes made by binding chopped-up meat in a thick sauce, letting it cool, and shaping it into rolls
