Cooking n stuff
May. 17th, 2010 09:42 pmI've been reading a lot of Susan Elizabeth Phillips lately (run out of Jennifer Crusie) and noticed something interesting.
Usians don't have bread-and-butter pudding as a dessert the way we UK/Aussie types do. They have something called French Toast Casserole - and they eat it for breakfast! I wonder if it's ever made with croissants like you get it at the Saigon Hot Bake? I've never had croissants left over in our house so the opportunity to make it myself has never arisen.
And they don't seem to have "main course" when they go to a restaurant. They call it entree. Which is weird because surely the entree is the thing you have first as an "entree" to the meal? That's certainly the way we do it here:- Entree, Main, Cheese and/or Dessert. Yet another one of those 'separated by a common language' things (even if the word in question is actually French).
I'm enjoying her books, though.
