By the way, what may be going on here, is that the French
phrase is derived from the misunderstanding of the english
phrase. Sort of like the term "english horn" for the
instrument, which comes from Cor Anglais, the only trouble
being that the Angl root here is about having an angled
mouthpiece rather than having anything to do with the english
:-)

(I wonder if Brussel Sprouts come from a similar confusion, but
perhaps not, perhaps this is just a Belgian joke :-)
