sommebay Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 These words are on an Emil Galle pot, thought to be used for separating egg yolks from whites.What does it mean please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Always gossip.But I think it's a play on words (given that the pot is for separating eggs) as cancan is also the sound that a duck makes (quack).I'm sure I real live virtual french person like Claire could give a definitive answer though [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
