LOL. In my case, I just watch too many shows on food network, so I naturally had to ask, because there are variations.

The holy trinity of vegetables includes peppers, so I naturally was curious to know if JR was using it instead of what I consider the standard.

I swear it wasn’t any attempt to make you look bad.LOL

Well, anyway it appears that you learned something today right? The standard home cooking with celery, carrots, and onions has a fancy name and can be traced way back in some of the old French Cooking texts, or so I’ve heard.

Escoffier was the guy that wrote most of it down in a book to memorialize it. I happen to own one of those books. You think I'm obtuse about recipes?

Here's a sample of one of his: 2801 Fritots de Pieds de Mouton

Cook the trotters in a Blanc. Drain them well and whilst still warm, marinate for 20 minutes in a dish with lemon juice, a little oil, chopped parsley and a little salt and pepper. Toss over occasionally.

For serving, dip the half trotters in frying batter and deep fry in hot oil.

Drain well and arrange on a serviette, decorate with fried parsley and serve with Sauce Tomate.

"Hey! I need 2 orders of 2801 for table 3!"
