Please enlighten me on
French history?

 

[coloradoclyde]

I don't understand people's hatred for the French...There is a high probability that you have French DNA.

The French have also influenced the English language. Over one-third of the words in the English language are derived from French, and English speakers can typically recognize about 15,000 French words. There are 1,700 words that are identical in both languages.

And then there is the long list of French contributions.....Here is a short list.

It's not as if Americans have behaved in the most exemplary and fault-less manner since then either...

It's no small feat for Americans to be known as the most boorish/rude, self-absorbed and self-entitled nationality on the planet

I really like Chinese scallion pancakes.

 

[coloradoclyde]

Sounds yummy!

 

[Black Hand]

Just imagine a texture somewhere between a pita and a flour tortilla with plenty of scallions and some sesame seed oil. Fried (?) until slightly crisp and brown on the exterior but toothsome on the inside.

My step-grand mother was French. One of the nicest/finest ladies I have ever known, and my granddad treated her worse than dirt even after she did all the good things she did for my Dads family growing up. RIP Grandma Mary.

Traveling and camping through Idaho one summer woke up one morning to a downpour so decided to drive into town for breakfast. Found a rustic diner with lots of cars outside---- this is the place. Waitress asks "what will it be for you" Pancakes,,,, how many---- Anytime I cant eat 3 I'll eat my hat. She smiles and walks away, and soon returns with 3 pancakes at least 1" thick and about 12" inches diameter. She didn't make me eat my hat but she sure had a good laugh. (but they were really good)

You are so right on Black Hand. Before Montana I lived in Yorktown VA a few yards form the Yorktown battle field where we won our independence in 1779. I was on the battle field before dawn for the bicentennial on Oct 19,1979. Thousands of people were there and total silence. When the British bugle boy stepped up on the berm to blow surrender half the crowd was over come with emotion (as was I) The French troops were well represented and the crowd well understood their contribution to the effort. Any American who has never visited Yorktown and Williamsburg sure should visit them. I will soon be back there and if anyone will call I would be more than glad to act as tour guide.

Strangely enough, I saw/ate some like that at a roadside diner ( I forget the name) near Accident, MD about 0800 close to 20 years ago.

The waitress brought me about 6 kinds of syrup, honey & blackberry preserves, a pitcher of melted butter & I "dug in".

The coffee was strong, HOT, fresh & seemingly unending.

That plate of flapjacks was so "stick to the ribs" that I still wasn't hungry at bedtime that PM.

I have been to Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg many times back in the early 60s. I was stationed at the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station in 1962 and 1963. At that time, neither Jamestown nor Yorktown were much as a liberty town but Williamsburg had William and Mary College and I found the coed dating to be very nice. The town of Williamsburg was an enjoyable place to spend time.

As for Yorktown at that time, there was only three places that I went. One was a bar that sat on the river near the battleground, the other was a burger place that was under the bridge and the laundromat that was adjacent to the burger place. The battleground did not have a lot of development at that time but it was set aside as a National Park and was well maintained with roads and some signs posted at special points. I would like to go visit there again one day and see how many changes have taken place.

Oh, and let's not forget Lacky, VA. What a place! :shake:

False Patriotism!....
A patriot loves his country and it's citizenry, he does not denigrate or divide it....Nor does he disenfranchise his fellow Americans.

Oh!...And, Nixon was not impeached, he resigned before that could happen.

Pancake!

 

[satx78247]

Well, you are certainly 100% CORRECT about "Resident Zero" as he is a false patriot who loves to attack the USA at home & abroad.

I suspect that after 20JAN16 that Zero will be "tearing down" Donald Trump's administration at a rate unseen by any former POTUS, ever. - I do NOT foresee Zero slinking away into the night OR spending his time on the golf course.

just my OPINION, satx

I find it "somewhat amusing" that it's evidently A-OK for everyone else to be "off-topic" but not me. = Could it be that what you are interested in is being agreed with, even when you are simply/factually WRONG??

Everyone on the forum might even try to omit posting all the silly symbols & post at least a "somewhat thoughtful" comment.

A tortilla is a pancake? I really don't know what half of those on the list either look like or how they are made, but I don't think I would consider a tortilla as being a pancake. Neither a corn or flour tortilla. They are round, thin, and made mostly from ground grain, but so are a lot of foods. How about most flatbreads, pie crust, or certain types of pasta?

 

[satx78247]

I'm not at all sure (IF we are talking about "as served in Mexico") that I would argue too much with Clyde about tortillas being pancakes as "way down there" tortillas are sometimes served for breakfast with a sweetened "filling" & either rolled with some sort of "sauce covering" or "stacked" like pancakes & served with butter/whipped cream/sweetened cheese.

just my OPINION, satx
