Frank Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Anyone tried explaing this one??? I tried (in my very little French) to translate the ingredients, ie sausages being the toads etc. But my friend didn't quite understand me (not surprising really!) and thought I was refering to real toads cooked in the oven with some sort of crepe[+o(]!!!! Not a good explanation on my part one thinks[:$]. Anyway, many gestures and dictionary translations later and I think they got the idea. Anyway, I offered to cook it for them, but they declined, I wonder why??[8-)] Anymore strange recipe translations out there??Kimberly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoddy Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Oh dear ! You've confirmed the awful stereotype the French have about British cooking. I think it's your patriotic duty to invite them to dinner and cook a really good toad to convince them we're not all mad.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Nor bubble and squeak as they might think you have found a use for all those mice and are boiling them up to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterm Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I appreciate the problem. "Crapaud dans le trou" doesn't sound particualrly appetising does it?Mind you I'm not sure that "saucisses cuites au four dans de la pate â crepes" is much of an improvement either.
