Last post by scarface - January 25, 2025, 09:14 PMTonight, I'm going to show you a new dish.
Look carefully at the photos below.
Humbert, vasudev and shadow.97 have probably never seen such a dish.
In the first picture, you can see some turkey paupiettes, before they are cooked. In the second picture you can see the turkey paupiettes served with red beans.
But the most interesting is the content of those paupiettes. In the third picture, we can see that they are stuffed with ratatouille and turkey meat. Actually, the wrapping is composed of pork meat (it looks like bacon).

I mentioned this because you said "porc" and "port" have identical pronunciations.Generally, if a word ends with a consonant in French, it is not pronounced.
Porc and port are both pronounced "por".
therefore, the sentences below have the same pronunciation, but a different meaning...
- Je vais parler à shadow.97 sur le port (I'm going to talk to shadow.97 on the port)
- Je vais parler à shadow.97 sur le porc (I'm going to talk to shadow.97 about the pig).
But there are exceptions, for the words below the final consonant is pronounced:
sac, décor, fil...

That's because the quebeçois speak to each other in French, but if you're trying to learn and address them in broken French, they respond in English.Even if your proficiency in French seems to be pretty high, they are probably afraid you might not understand the answer then.

Last post by humbert - January 16, 2025, 05:03 AMQuote from: scarface on January 14, 2025, 10:55 PMNote that in French, the word "porc" essentially refers to pig meat, but it can refer to the animal as well. Note that the French words porc (pork) and port (harbour/port) have the same pronunciation.
My lady tried to study French in Québec. She that in French, if a word ends in a consonant, that letter is silent. True? I mentioned this because you said "porc" and "port" have identical pronunciations.
Notice I said "tried to" learn French. That's because the quebeçois speak to each other in French, but if you're trying to learn and address them in broken French, they respond in English. This makes learning very difficult. Not so in Ontario and everything to the west and north. Most people in this vast area speak no French at all and have no interest in learning. This is beyond my comprehension.

Why even bother with an unfinished, bug-infested piece of software that you didn't write and is causing more problems than it solved? Even on my laptop which has a pretty decent copy of Windows, it would not install.
Suggest you wait a while and let Micro$haft fix this garbage.

After its discovery by Marie Curie, the radioactive element radium was incorporated into everything as a "cure all." The most famous was Radithor, a radium-infused tonic that claimed to treat over 150 different ailments. Unfortunately, drinking this magic potion was not without consequence.

Last post by scarface - January 14, 2025, 10:55 PMTonight, I'm going to show you a new recipe.
It seems that humbert showed signs of confusion after discovering the pâté de campagne (farmhouse pâté). It's rather likely that this kind of pâté is not common in the United States. Since shadow.97's mind was in a ferment after the photo of the boudin noir was published, we can assume that he enjoys eating farmhouse pâté too, a pâté made from pork meat.
Note that in French, the word "porc" essentially refers to pig meat, but it can refer to the animal as well. Note that the French words porc (pork) and port (harbour/port) have the same pronunciation.
Now look at the photo below.
If you have never heard of pâté de campagne, you have certainly heard of duck foie gras.
These slices of white bread are soft and fluffy, ideal for spreading the foie gras de canard. It is usually eaten cold at the start of the meal.
Look at the subtle color of the foie gras: it is exquisite.

Last post by humbert - January 14, 2025, 04:11 AMQuote from: scarface on January 12, 2025, 06:05 AMDo you celebrate Christmas or was this just given to you?
I spent it with a few friends.
After so many Christmases, it's just another day on the calendar as far as I'm concerned. Lisa Simpson couldn't have said it better: "Christmas is a day where people buy friends gifts they don't need, with money they don't have."
