Eatinf dinner at The French Laundry is like attending an event. 6 or 7 courses of absolute perfection. Dinner can easily take 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Unbelievably pricey, but worth it once every other year or so.

Why? - Guyana is the name of the country which was formerly British Guiana. When the three were colonies they were British, Dutch and French Guiana. The other two became independent

and British Guiana became Guyana. Dutch Guiana became Suriname and French Guiana remained. Guyana is NOT an alternate spelling of Guiana and, therefore, should NOT be substituted.

I agree with disagreeing. If there didnt allready exist a country with the name Guyana I would be fine with it. But this only contributes to the confusion, people will never be able to get it straight. Thinking something is something else, is worse than a spelling error, I would almost say no matter how bad the spelling error is, but ofcourse there are limits. (I am thankfull for the first time I read spelling it Guyana was a mistake. It is like when you meet someone after a long while and call them by the wrong name. Like hey John ... It is Dave... -_- John is my brother.. it makes you feel very silly)

Guyana isnt correct, Guinea isnt correct, Ghana isn't correct and neither is guarana.

In France, just order your food "avec frites". Just never say "frites francais." You may get your butt kicked. Well...not if you are in France.

It means "fried potatoes". "Pommes frites" or just "frites" are used because, shockingly, other languages use short forms and slang as well.

We call french toast wentelteefje. And it has an unclear etymology, wentel is obviously turning, wentelen=wenden. But the 2nd part means something different nowadays, it is female dog... and that is definitely not where it comes from. An unlikely explanation is that it comes from "wentel 't even/eventjes" which means turn it for a little while. But it is more likely that teef(je) comes from an not know anymore word for a specific pastry/bread.

That is great haha, it does kind of work with the tongue exchange. If your tongue is moved, different sounds are produced.

Me, too. French Lick was the only American town I could think of with "French." So even though I read it as Lady Bird, I still tried French Lick.

Could a clearer clue than Quebecois be put forward? I mean, it's just a demonym; it could refer to the Quebecois dialect, or the geographical area, etc. Maybe, "A Quebecois person, for example"?

How about "dialect"? Wikipedia says that "Quebecois" is used to refer to "the predominant variety of the French language in Canada".

Amused by your expression 'Gawd and Benett'..... originally 'Gordon Bennett'...... and my Father used it quite a lot and told me the expression came from a Gordon Bennett who was engaged to a posh, rich young woman and one evening he arrived at the fiancés great manor drunk and peed in the fireplace in front of her parents and guests: (did not get the girl)

Surprisingly enough 'French Toast' is not related to France, it came from a Mr. French who popularised the snack.
