Okay folks,
Know I am starting to roll my eyes. Leave France out of it for a change...
conversions, language excuses, etc. Besides French fries are not from
France, they are from Belgium ;) French toast are not French either... I
don't know who we blame for it, but Belgium sounds good. Getting the hang
of it... It's always Belgium. You got it ;)
I can recall a cute joke from when I was a kid:
Pourquoi les belges longent-t-ils les murs?
Parce que les murs s'effritent.
Translation doesn't work, you'll get a smile out of it if you know French,
I hope :)
So what if we eat snails and frog legs, horse meat, etc... don't get me
started on the US.
Vive la difference!

Fabienne, Edouard,
The comparable concept in Ontario, where I live is: "holding up the
walls".
Usually this job was relegated to the "Turkey Line" at my daughters'
school. ;-)
