You Know You're in France When...

You know you're in France when your French lunch guest, realizing that you are an unenlightened foreigner, let's you know that the pastries you are serving from your local bakery, which you think are just great, are the lowest level of pastry available in France. In case there is any doubt, your second French guest, heartily agrees that oui, these are, in fact, the lowest form of French pastry. Neither of our French guests seemed to be particularly peturbed by this, as we all ate heartily. I wonder what they would think of sheet cake?
