So am I and have been for about ten years. It's really controversial,
you know...

GW has said that the French don't even HAVE a word for 'Filet mignon'





Actually, he was correct. The French don't have a word for 'Filet
Mignon' because 'Filet Mignon' is an American recipe, appearing in
the mid 1890's.

The French call their filet of tenderloin 'tournedos', and 'filet
de b½uf.'

Only in the US are these cuts sold as 'filet mignon.'


Similarly, the English have nothing known as an 'English Muffin.'


As the Italians do not have anything known as 'Italian Salad
Dressing.' All salad dressings are French.

What do the French call a 'French Kiss'?g

kiss
Also toast

That's not evidence that plants have a consciousness... that's evidence that
HUMANS DON'T!

I wonder what Entrepreneur thought that up..

You may want to re-examine your Wiki sources. The *words* first appeared
in American print at some early date. There is no mention of the
culinary creation being of American origin.


Actually, in my chef's class at the university, we studied
origins of cuts at length. The cut showed up in restaurants in the
mid 1890s. In American restaurants.



Some others credit the writings of O. Henry, circa 1906, as the original
introduction of the term to North Americans. The Oxford dictionary
claims a French origin, as do others.

Which would be after it was introduced to the menu in the 1890's.
Wow, you sound like you went to Chicago public schools.

If you wish to be a vegetarian, so be it. But meat is just another food

This is turning into a morbid dead meat fest, so with your kind
permission, I am now leaving. There are vegetables in the kitchen
awaiting an untimely chlorophyll letting.

*Eliminating* food groups is -more- varied?

And cooking less food groups is different from cooking multiple food
groups how?

Sorry, legitimate questions all.

But nice cop-out...and keep on tap dancin'. :-)
