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.
