So am I and have been for about ten years. It's really controversial,
you know...

GW has said that the French don't even HAVE a word for 'Filet mignon'

Actually, he was correct. The French don't have a word for 'Filet
Mignon' because 'Filet Mignon' is an American recipe, appearing in
the mid 1890's.

The French call their filet of tenderloin 'tournedos', and 'filet
de bœuf.'

Only in the US are these cuts sold as 'filet mignon.'


Similarly, the English have nothing known as an 'English Muffin.'


As the Italians do not have anything known as 'Italian Salad
Dressing.' All salad dressings are French.

I wonder what Entrepreneur thought that up..

You may want to re-examine your Wiki sources. The *words* first appeared
in American print at some early date. There is no mention of the
culinary creation being of American origin.

Some others credit the writings of O. Henry, circa 1906, as the original
introduction of the term to North Americans. The Oxford dictionary
claims a French origin, as do others.

This is turning into a morbid dead meat fest, so with your kind
permission, I am now leaving. There are vegetables in the kitchen
awaiting an untimely chlorophyll letting.

I became a vegetarian 10 years ago for ethical reasons. My decision
did/does have side effects though: lost 50 lbs., energy level
quadrupled, concentration and memory dramatically improved, taste buds
rejuvenated, diet became much more varied, meals and cooking became
fun, interesting and a time of reflective appreciation. And the
spiritual benefits realized by refusing to participate in and
subsidize the cruel and inhumane meat industry have been positively
awe-inspiring and a very special bond with nature and animals emerged
that is beyond description.

Can't help adding that I find it noteworthy that four of the more
intelligent individuals in this group are all vegetarian. Interesting.

*much more* varied, just eating veggies and -eliminating- meat, fish and
fowl? Sorry, but that seems contradictory.

meals and cooking became fun,

more fun? Why is it "more fun" to cook one thing than another? Cooking
is cooking, parts is parts.

interesting and a time of reflective appreciation. And the spiritual
benefits realized by refusing to participate in and subsidize the
cruel and inhumane meat industry...

What about that cruel and inhumane treatment of vegetables? You are
killing them (a living thing), boiling them, eating them.

Plants have feelings too, ya know. How would -you- like to be mowed down
in the prime of life?

If you wish to be a vegetarian, so be it. But meat is just another food
group along with fish, fowl and vegetables. Humans have been eating meat
for millenia, since the first cave man speared a woolly mammoth. Meat
has stood the human race in good stead for tens of thousands of years.
(Everything in moderation, of course. I'm not recommending you slam down
two pounds of bacon in a sitting).
