You got me.
I really want to throat punch anyone who brags about French bread or snails.
What the f is a baguette or escargot?
To me it is teeth destroying and slimy worms.
'Baguette' is a French word meaning 'wand' or 'baton'. It describes the shape of the loaf. 'Escargot' is a French word derived from the Greek for 'edible shellfish'.
Questions like that are a chief reason why the rest of the world tend to think of Americans - rightly or wrongly - as provincial louts.
