Petit Four in French translates to Little Oven.

I have friends of Italian ancestry that tell me that the Italians taught the French to cook. I tell them that is true. The French corrected their mistakes and taught the rest of the world.

Unfortunately about the last thing the French got right, politically, was helping us gain our freedom from Britain.

eh.

I tend to look at it as the French using us as a proxy to stick their thumb in Britain’s eye.
