Name of a purple chemical used by the French to put in water to wash vegetables like lettuce?

2010-04-24T17:43:00.000-07:00

while in Africa I learned that the French medics recommend the use of something that turns the water purple but then is used to purify vegetables before eating. I am looking for the mane of this product.

Name of a purple chemical used by the French to put in water to wash vegetables like lettuce?
This is the chemical, it seems to be quite poisonous, I did not know that, we used to purify our vegetables for years with this component that was called Kali or something similar. The real name is Potassium Permanganate:

Reply:I don't know the exact product you are referring to, but when I was in Mexico City I had a solution I bought at Wal-Mart that I used to disinfect vegetables. You don't actually use it to wash the vegetables, but instead you soak them in a mixture of this solution and water. As I recall, the solution I bought contained silver as a disinfectant, and it was kind of brown in appearance. It seemed to me that it was kind of a generic brand. So similar solutions are probably available under many brand names. Hopefully it will be available for sale in the area where you need it.

The two meet for two hours; they speak an hour of French and an hour of English. I want to know the name of the company that hosts this program, so that I can join. It's free, apparently.

I haven't heard of that specifically, but you might try www.meetup.com. By the way, I wouldn't call them "Frenchies"; it sounds a little derogatory. If you can't bring yourself to say "French people", then perhaps "les francaises" is acceptable...

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes

The Poor FishermanWikimedia Commons has media related to:

Pierre-C茅cile Puvis de ChavannesPierre Puvis de Chavannes, (December 14, 1824 鈥?October 24, 1898) was a French painter.

He was born Pierre C茅cile Puvis de Chavannes in Lyon, Rh么ne, France.

In 1844 he went to Paris, where he studied under Eug猫ne Delacroix and Thomas Couture. It was not until a number of years later when the government of France acquired one of his works that he gained any sort of wide recognition. Although he studied with some of the romanticists, his work is seen as symbolist in nature and he is credited with influencing an entire generation. In turn, one of his proteges was Georges de Feure.

In Montmartre, he had an affair with one of his models, Suzanne Valadon, who would become one of the leading female artists of the day.

He is noted for painting murals, several of which can be seen at the H么tel de Ville (City Hall) in Paris and Poitiers, the Sorbonne, and the Paris Panth茅on, as well as in the United States at the Boston, Massachusetts Public Library. His easel paintings can be found in many American and European galleries. Some of them are:

Death and the Maiden

The Dream

The Poor Fisherman

Vigilance

The Meditation

Mary Magdalene at St Baume

Saint Genoveva

Young Girls at the Seaside

Mad Woman at the Edge of the Sea

Hope

He was president and co-founder in 1890 of the National Society of Fine Arts (Soci茅t茅 Nationale des Beaux Arts)(1)

Pierre Tal-Coat (1905-1985) painter

Tal-Coat's birth name was Pierre Louis Jacob. He was born in Brittany, a fisherman's son, and came to Paris in 1924. He chose the surname Tal-Coat (Breton for "Wood Face") to avoid being confused with the artist and poet Max Jacob. Tal-Coat was one of the most imprtant figures in the post-war School of Paris. One of the founders in the mid-forties of Tachisme, a lyrical abstract movement that was the French version of Abstract Expressionism, his paintings were acclaimed and admired by fellow artists such as Andre Masson. He also wrote on painting. His etchings and lithographs encapsulate the essence of his minimalist paintings.Tal-Coat was awarded the Grand-Prix National des Arts in 1968. His works have been featured in one-person shows at the Galerie de France (1945-1946), the Berne Kunsthalle (1957), the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Paris (1960), Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris (1963), the Maisons de la Culture du Havre and d'Amiens (1969), Galerie Benador, Geneva (1970, 1972, 1975, and 1979), Galerie l'Entracte, Lausanne (1973), the Musee de Metz (1974), the Musee Royal de Parc Veno, Tokyo (1975), Galerie Karsten Greve, Cologne (1979), Galerie Ditesheim, Neufchatel (1979), and at the Chateau de Ratilly (1979), Mus茅e d'Evreux (1983), Galerie Patrice Trigano, Paris (1983), Musee des Beaux-Arts de Quimper (1985), Maison de la Culture, Bourges (1987), Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rennes (1988), and Centre National des Lettres, Paris (1988). In 1968, there was a travelling retrospective at the Galeries Benezit, d'Incelli, and Schoeller; in 1976, he was the subject of a career retrospective at the Grand Palais, Paris. From 1954 on, he was primarily represented by the Galerie Maeght, Paris, and was the subject of a number of issues of the deluxe art review, Derri猫re le Miroir (numbers 64, 82/84, 114, 120, 131, 153, and 199). Finally, we have just learned (compliments of an announcement that G茅rard Titus-Carmel is having an exhibition there) that Tal-Coat has had a museum named in his honor, the Galerie Pierre Tal-Coat, Centre culurel, Hennebont.

Give the name of the French author who wrote the short story - The Necklace?

2010-04-24T17:41:00.000-07:00

Henri Ren茅 Albert Guy de Maupassant (IPA: 伞id蓹mopas虄蓱) (5 August 1850 鈥?6 July 1893) was a popular 19th-century French writer. He is one of the fathers of the modern short story.

Maupassant is one of the fathers of the modern short story. Unlike the more psychologically oriented Turgenev and Chekhov, Maupassant delights in clever plotting, and served as a model for Somerset Maugham and O. Henry in this respect. His stories about real or fake jewels (The Necklace, 'Les bijoux') are imitated with a twist by Maugham ('Mr Know-All', 'A String of Beads') and Henry James ('Paste'). As a stylish writer with a huge popular appeal he may be compared to Georges Simenon.

The Necklace, in fact, viciously punishes its lead characters for their needless guilt and dishonesty, signs of vanity, in a very heavy-handed way. Here is how it ends, with the protagonist encountering, after a decade of slaving to repay her debt for the diamond necklace she lost, the woman who owned the necklace:

One Sunday, as she had gone for a walk along the Champs-Elysees to freshen herself after the labors of the week, she caught sight suddenly of a woman who was taking a child out for a walk. It was Madame Forestier, still young, still beautiful, still attractive.

Madame Loisel was conscious of some emotion. Should she speak to her? Yes, certainly. And now that she had paid, she would tell her all. Why not?

She went up to her.

鈥楪ood morning, Jeanne.鈥?br>

The other did not recognize her, and was surprised at being thus familiarly addressed by a poor woman.

鈥楤ut...Madame...鈥?she stammered. 鈥業 don鈥檛 know...you must be making a mistake.鈥?br>

鈥楴o...I am Mathilde Loisel.鈥?br>

Her friend uttered a cry.

鈥極h!...my poor Mathilde, how you have changed!...鈥?br>

鈥榊es, I鈥檝e had some hard times since I saw you last; and many sorrows...and all on your account.鈥?br>

鈥極n my account!...How was that?鈥?br>

鈥榊ou remember the diamond necklace you lent me for the ball at the Ministry?鈥?br>

鈥榊es. Well?鈥?br>

鈥榃ell, I lost it.鈥?br>

鈥楬ow could you? Why, you brought it back.鈥?br>

鈥業 brought you another one just like it. And for the last ten years we have been paying for it. You realize it wasn鈥檛 easy for us; we had no money....Well, it鈥檚 paid for at last, and I鈥檓 glad indeed.鈥?br>

Madame Forestier had halted.

鈥榊ou say you bought a diamond necklace to replace mine?鈥?br>

鈥榊es. You hadn鈥檛 noticed it? They were very much alike.鈥?br>

And she smiled in proud and innocent happiness. Madame Forestier, deeply moved, took her two hands.

鈥極h, my poor Mathilde! But mine was imitation. It was worth at the very most five hundred francs!鈥?br>

Such coincidences do occur in life, and taken as an isolated tale it does not matter, but Maupassant鈥檚 tales, like those of O. Henry, are best read in small bunches, as this collection has, where the stock manipulations do not get repetitive as a hammer. Read Maupassant, and check out the Dover Books website, but realize the former works best as a curio of a lost time, and not a thing of the now.

If your last name origin is French or Italian for example, is that your heritage?

2010-04-24T17:40:00.000-07:00

Because my last name is Smith and it's English and also my grandfathers last name is Martin and it's French, German, and English, and also my grandmother's maiden last name was Kyles and its Scottish.So does that mean that I am all these things? Thanx!

If your last name origin is French or Italian for example, is that your heritage?
Not necessarily. People have become so watered down culturally over the years through intermarriage in different cultures. Plus, people would change their names if they went somewhere different and names change over the years. So no, just because those are their last names, doesn't necessarily mean that's is their ethnic heritage.
Reply:Not necessarily. For example, I have heard that there are a lot of Negroes living in France with French surnames. When they were servants to the wealth French, they took the surnames of their masters.
Reply:Your last name is an indication of your heritage but by no means is it an absolute link. Slaves, servants, migrants readily assumed the names of local people and their employers. Also, if you live in the USA, many immigration officials "changed" the names of immigrants for reasons ranging from simplicity to stupidity.

I think it is cool to have names from many heritages in your background.
Reply:At least a part of your heritage. I know of ancestors from several European countries, so when asked about my heritage, I can say European or one of those coumtries in Europe.
Reply:It's very likely, but necessarily. Your grandfather's family could have changed their name to Smith (for instance it was very common for immigrants - especially from eastern european countries - to have their name shortened or americanized when arriving in the US in the early 19th century).
Reply:NO, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE AND BE PROUD OF IT. MY MOTHER IS SCOTTISH AND MY DAD IS GERMAN. BUT I AM 100% AMERICAN AND PROUD OF IT!

What is the name of a movie where a bunch of French guys try to steal a signed baseball?
Crime Spree (2003)? Just a wild guess since I've never seen the movie. It stars popular stars G茅rard Depardieu and Harvey Keitel. Depardieu has a rather big nose.

Here's the plot:

A gang of French burglars are assigned by their boss to rob a private house which has lots of jewelry in Chicago (not New York), United States. The burglars are actually not very smart in action. Apparently, they rob the wrong house which is owned by Frankie Zammeti (Keitel), the head of the Chicago mafia. Unaccustomed to the ways of the American underworld, it is not long before they have the mafia, the FBI and a couple of street gangs on their backs as they attempt to make their way back to Paris.

Do you like adding some different groups to your names, like use a french middle name to make it fancy, or no?

Is it:

* Frere Jacques

* Charles de Gaulle

What is the name of the French comic rider often described as 'Charlie Chaplin on Horseback'?
Deduction, my dear Watson. Charles de Gaulle was a general in the French army, then president, so no one would have called him a Charlie Chaplin on horseback. Especially the cheese eating surrender monkeys. Fr猫re Jacques i.e. Friar Jack is a character in a folk song, known for being a sleepy cleric rather than being comical. So it must be Joel Chacon, who will be at HOYS in early October. Do you fancy going?

Please name some french ballet which's music is slow and heart warming?

2010-04-24T17:32:00.000-07:00

Though ballet and music academies first originated in the French courts and were nurtured primarily in France until very recently (the past two centuries), ballet in Europe matured through the combined efforts of masters of many different European nations: France, Italy, Denmark, and England, in particular. Thus it is difficult to label any ballet distinctly French based upon the French upbringings of its choreographer or even its movement style, as the French "style" has been much forgotten by teachers in favor of today's codified Italian Cecchetti, Russian Vaganova, and British RAD techniques. However, several ballets which premiered at the Paris Opera in the early and mid-19th century are considered French in origin despite, for example, having been choreographed by Italian-born ballet masters.

The musical score of "La Fille Mal Gardee" (considered the oldest original surviving ballet) is today credited to the French Ferdinand Herold, who composed for the 1828 revival of the ballet (it premiered in 1789). The famous and revered Italian Marie Taglioni starred in "La Sylphide," which premiered at the Paris Opera and is today in the repertories of the Royal Danish Ballet and American Ballet Theater, but the original score received poor reviews and is no longer even used by the Royal Danish Ballet.

I recommend taking a listen to the score for the Romantic ballet "Giselle," composed by Frenchman Adolphe Adam (this ballet also premiered at the Paris Opera). Though you'll find lighthearted melodies in the First Act shift to sad and slow ones (perhaps not necessarily "heart-warming") in the second, the music of "Giselle" is widely beloved by ballet students and enthusiasts. The ballet "Swan Lake," choreographed in Russia by French ballet master Marius Petipa, is considered reflective of the French movement style, but its score was written by the Russian-born Tchaikovsky.

Please name some french ballet which's music is slow and heart warming?
These are ballet scores, or from dance epsisodes in opera. They're certainly heart-warming and slow. I think you'll like them.

Faure: Pelleas et Melisande

Debussy: L'Apres-midi d'un faune

For heart-warming and slow, you might try

Yes, if you're talking about the village, there is an accent agui on the first "e" like "脡loise." I'm assuming the girls' name comes from this as well.

I suppose you could spell a name any way you feel like. I'm seen "Nicole," "Nichole," "Nycol," "Nicoll," etc. But in France they have strict laws on what you're allowed to name a child; before you name your baby in France you have to prove that the name already exists, so I don't think that leaves much room for alternate spellings.
Reply:It DOES have accent marks, and it's more commonly written with an H in French: H茅lo茂se or 脡lo茂se. Acute accent on the e and an umlaut on the i. Capitalized letters do not take an accent mark in modern French practice, but many people still use them.

"..in the 1840s, pomme frites ("fried potatoes") first appeared in Paris. Sadly, we don't know the name of the ingenious chef who first sliced the potato into long slender pieces and fried them. But they were immediately popular, and were sold on the streets of Paris by push-cart vendors.

Frites spread to America where they were called French fried potatoes. You asked how they got their name--pretty obvious, I'd say: they came from France, and they were fried potatoes, so they were called "French fried potatoes." The name was shortened to "french fries" in the 1930s. "

Reply:Another claim is that the inclusion of the word "French" in the fried potatoes is most likely a confusion as to the nationality of those who introduced the food to American and Canadian soldiers in World War I. When American and Canadian soldiers were stationed in southern Belgium, where many major battles of World War I took place, they were served "pommes frites". Since the region of Belgium the soldiers were in was predominantly French-speaking, the soldiers brought the dish back to the United States as "french fries".
Reply:some one named them
Reply:At the risk of sounding original, I'm not going to blantantly copy-and-paste an answer that's just a little twist on what's already been said. French fries (spelled with a lower-case 'f' because 'french' is not proper) are so named because it is believed that they are prepared 'in a French style'. Although what Americans call a french fry and any food that ever originated in France have little in common.
Reply:in the 1840s, pomme frites ("fried potatoes") first appeared in Paris. Sadly, we don't know the name of the ingenious chef who first sliced the potato into long slender pieces and fried them. But they were immediately popular, and were sold on the streets of Paris by push-cart vendors.

By the way, the verb "to french" in cooking has come to mean to cut in long, slender strips, and some people insist that "french fries" come from that term. However, the French fried potato was known since the middle 1800s, while the OED cites the first use of the verb "to french" around 1895, so it appears pretty convincing that "french fried potatoes" came before the verb "frenching." The origin of the name is thus the country of origin French and not the cooking term french.

In the U.K., fried fish had been on sale by street vendors since the 1600s. In 1864, a brilliant (but, alas, unknown) Brit teamed French fried potatoes (called "chips" in English) with fried fish, to create the famous and popular fish and chips.

Today, of course, the worldwide popularity of McDonalds and Burger King and Wendy's and their ilk have brought French fries to the world. Amusingly, they are now often called "American fries" in many countries.

French fries are commonly eaten with ketchup in the U.S., but with malt vinegar (delicious) in the U.K., and with mayonnaise (appalling) in the Netherlands. The French mostly take them straight, but the Belgians have the best idea (as is so often the case with food): they eat frites with buckets full of mussels.

While we're on the subject, potato chips (British: crisps) are a purely American invention. In 1852, a chef (George Crum) at a resort in Saratoga, N.Y., was annoyed when a patron (the story says Cornelius Vanderbilt) sent some French fried potatoes back to the kitchen, complaining that they were too thick. Somewhat spitefully, Crum sliced a potato so thin that it couldn't be speared by a fork, and then fried the slices. One can hear him mutter, "That thin enough for you?" But the patron was delighted, not annoyed, and the potato chip was thus born. They were called "Saratoga chips" and were popular in the Northeast (often eaten with raw clams and oysters) until the 1920s, when they spread through the U.S. and thence the world.
Reply:In short, no one really knows for sure.

Wikipedia has an interesting discourse on the multitude of possible origins and claims to origin.

I especially like the one that pomme frites the french name for fries and that the french name is named for the Belgian inventor named "Frits". (Kinda like Fettucine Alfredo).
Reply:When potatoes, or anything else, are cut into that particular shape they are called "Frenched" (as opposed to diced or chopped, or whatever). So the potatoes were Frenched and fried, hence "French fries".
Reply:Origin of the name "french fries".

The logical explanation of the origin of the North American name of the dish is that it derives from potatoes that have been "fried in the french manner". The English verb fry is ambiguous: it can refer to both to saut茅ing and to deep-fat frying, while the French verb it derives from refers unambiguously to the latter.

Some feel that the word "french" in "french fries" is refers to the verb "to french", which means "to cut in thin lengthwise strips before cooking" (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Ed.) On the other hand, "to french" is defined as "to prepare, as a chop, by partially cutting the meat from the shank and leaving bare the bone so as to fit it for convenient handling." (Oxford English Dictionary) in other dictionaries, seeming to suggest that the meaning of this process is not necessarily as set as it may appear. In addition, the verb "to french" did not start appearing until after "french fried potatoes" had appeared in the English-speaking world.

Many other widely disseminated legends for the origin of the name also exist.

By one account, the fried potatoes are called 'french fries' because they are commonly fried in the Belgo-French manner (that is to say, frying them twice with a small pause in the middle). This is plausible, and seems to suggest the word "french" implies the manner in which the food is fried.

Other accounts say that they were once called 'German fries' but the name was changed either for political reasons (Germany was once the enemy of the United States) or simple historical reasons (a traditional theory poses that it was in France during World War I that American soldiers first encountered the dish). This seems unlikely, as Germany was not as famous for its "french fries" as other European countries, in addition to the fact that German immigrants did not seem to bring the dish over to the United States.

Another claim is that the inclusion of the word "French" in the fried potatoes is most likely a confusion as to the nationality of those who introduced the food to American and Canadian soldiers in World War I. When American and Canadian soldiers were stationed in southern Belgium, where many major battles of World War I took place, they were served "pomme frites". Since the region of Belgium the soldiers were in was predominantly French-speaking, the soldiers brought the dish back to the United States as "french fries".

History

Many possible claims as to the origin of "french fries" exist.

Many attribute the dish to France, and offer as evidence a notation by President Jefferson. "Potatoes deep-fried while raw, in small slices" are noted in a manuscript in Thomas Jefferson's hand (circa 1801) and the recipe almost certainly comes from his French chef, Honor茅 Julien. In addition, from 1813 ("The French Cook" by Louis Ude) on recipes for what can be described as "french fries" occur in popular American cookbooks. Recipes for fried potatoes in French cookbooks date back at least to Menon's "Les soupers de la cour" (1755). However, according to the Food Reference Web site, the first reference to French fried potatoes in English was in 1894 in O. Henry's Rolling Stones, "Our countries are great friends. We have given you Lafayette and French fried potatoes." In addition, when the controversy over Freedom Fries first began, the French embassy claimed that the food was actually Belgian.

Belgium itself also lays claim as the "origin" of French Fries, even though it acknowledges the possibility of the dish being from northern France. According to the popular Belgian belief, this recipe for potatoes was first used in the Meuse valley, between Dinant and Li猫ge, Belgium. The poor inhabitants of this region had the custom of accompanying their meals with small fried fish, but when the river was frozen and they were unable to fish, they cut potatoes lengthwise and fried them in oil to accompany their meals. (Belgian Federal Portal) In 1861, a Belgian entrepreneur named Frits is said to have opened a stand selling this product. He is also said to have given it its own name, frites, which is the french name for the dish in Belgium.

The Spanish claim for originating french fries credits the first appearance of the recipe to have been in Galicia, where it was used as an accompaniment for fish dishes, and from which it spread to the rest of the country and then to Belgium.

What exactly is soft cheese; my store sells French soft cheese, no name just "soft cheese" on label?

2010-04-23T04:48:00.000-07:00

The term "soft cheese" is actually used to define, characterize %26amp; identify the moisture content of a cheese.

The factor controlling the hardness of a cheese is its moisture content which is dependent on the pressure with which it is packed into molds and the length of time it is aged.

Soft cheeses have a very high moisture content and tend to be more bland in flavor compared to other cheeses. Cheeses in this category are often spread on bread or crackers to be served as snacks. They're usually not used for cooking. Most soft cheeses should be used within a few days of purchase--they spoil faster than firmer cheeses.

What is my name, when translated into French?

2010-04-23T04:47:00.000-07:00

My name is Marlee, and we have been assigned in my French class to find out what the French translation of our names would be. My name is unusual, so I haven't been able to find a translation.

If there isn't a proper translation, how would I pronounce Marlee in a French accent?

What is my name, when translated into French?
I tried to find something but it appears that it's an American name, and quite rare, with no corresponding name in French. I didn't know it before, and I find it very beautiful, you can be proud of your name!

French name which could sound like yours:

Marlyse

In French, your name would be pronounced like in English, but probably with the French "r" !
Reply:In a french accent well you roll the R but it's basically the same as in english. There's a french name "Marlene" that might be yours translated but I think it exists in english as well...?
Reply:Try Marylyse.

What's the name of the gay French movie that takes place in a boys Catholic boarding school? ?

2010-04-23T04:46:00.002-07:00

I went to see a film at a gay center in Chicago, and they showed a French movie set in a boys catholic school. I was telling a friend about it, but couldn't remember the name of it. Any idea? It involved an teenage boy that takes a younger new boy (around 12 or 13) under his wing, and they bond together in a way more than just friends (though not physically intimate). It seems that it was shot in black %26amp; white, but not sure about that. Any ideas??? Thanks!

What's the name of the gay French movie that takes place in a boys Catholic boarding school? ?
Amiti茅s particuli猫res, Les (1964)

Francis Lacombrade stars as the young Comte Georges de Sarre, student at a French boarding school run by the priests. Didier Haudepin is the even younger Alexandre, another student at the same school. It is post WWII France, and the school is run with heavy discipline.

Georges develops a special friendship with Alexandre, hence the title of the novel and the movie made from the novel. Roger Peyreffite is quite a famous French author, and this story is his best work.

The two boys develop their friendship in spite of the rules of the fathers who are dead set against this sort of thing happening at their school. Not that there is anything sensual about the relationship, just a few chaste kisses and poems with Georges describing Alexandre as his "bijoux".

There is a touching scene in the movie with the two boys hidden in a haystack lying besides each other, sharing the joy of their company and a stolen cigarette.

Not to give away the ending, but tragedy befalls the two boys.

Interesting to note that a friend of Peyreffite, who also worked as a French civil servant, Henri de Montherlant also wrote a novel about the love between two boys. The Boys is also set in a Catholic boarding school, but around the turn of the 19th century. And a similar tragic ending.

In both stories, the Church and its rules against too much affection between schoolboys plays a major role in the story as one of the antagonists. We are left wondering just how well both stories might have turned out if the boys had been left alone to share their friendships.

There isnt any meaning..

Its just like

Marise in english
Reply:Hi this is what I have found - the links are in french, but might be help-full anyway check it out.

What I have found on the sites is the following :

It comes from Hebrew and is a feminine name.

"mar" = La goutte d'eau = the drop of water, et = and,

"yam" = la mer = the sea, ou = or, "myriam" = la voyante, l'emotion, la combatante = conspicious, the emotion, the fighter. La voyante may also mean, if it is meant as clairvoyant, that would be the clear-sighted or medium.

Since made record the year 1899 is the year where the name was most common, on the other site says 1950 In France.

3 children born in 2003 with this name in france.

77538 persons with this name recorded since 1940 in France.

What is the name of this French film?

2010-04-23T04:44:00.001-07:00

The synopsis is like this: There is this French widower who hires an Eastern European girl to be his housekeeper and farm hand. He soon falls in love with her, but is unsure of her feelings towards him. After believing she has won the lottery, the girl returns to her homeland to establish a dance studio. Realizing her affections towards the widower, she goes back to him, bringing her young daughter.

What is the name of this French film?
I think the movie you are after is called "Je vous trouve tr猫s beau" which I think translates to "You are so handsome". It's about a french widower who hires a farm hand from Romania who has a 6 year old daughter. Hope this helps.

Whats the name of the standard book used in French culinary colleges?

2010-04-23T04:44:00.000-07:00

And for bonus points anyone know a book of food items in french and english, like a pictoral vocab book?

Whats the name of the standard book used in French culinary colleges?
There is no standard book but the basis of classical french cookery is Escoffiers 'Guide Culinaire' supported by the 'Repertoire de la Cuisine' by Louis Saulnier. If you want to be really old skool then (Marie-)Antoine Careme was a mentor to Escoffier himself. These two were the undisputed fathers of 'modern' cookery and even the Ramsey would bow in deference at their feet! He would not exist without them.

These are not strictly recipe books as we know them today, and you would need a basic knowledge of professional cookery and an understanding of the French terms used (these are used in England as well, the language of cookery is french) in order to make any of the dishes. You will not find many techniques or ingredients around today that were not explored by these two chefs, and once you've mastered their techniques there's not much that the likes of Delia and Gord' will be able to teach you.

Of course, if youre just looking for a pure reference book then the as matey said, the Larousse Gastronomique is 'la Bible'.

PS. Be prepared for a shock because they're pretty expensive!
Reply:I have very slowly worked my way through the whole of Larousse Gastronomique. Some excellent, and some not so excellent, recipes. Now I am on Mark Hix's book on British Food, and also a National Trust cookbook called Complete Traditional Recipe Book, because autumn and winter are coming, and I just want to make comfort foods for me and my family and friends.
Reply:Cordon Bleu?

PS Scaramouche's contribution is an interesting read. I bet they're expensive books. But you can get anything through libraries. Try a University library near you first. They may give you a day reader's ticket if you tell them you're doing research on the topic, which is true. Of course, if you're at a College, your own college library would obtain them for you for a payment of 拢2 to "Document Supply" - within a few days if they are available in the British Library.

Public libraries will obtain them for a small payment too, but that's usually MUCH slower.

The company is

"Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinee"

Not actually a French company, but founded by French speakers.

thank you much

How would I pronounce the name of this French company?
it's la compagnie des bauxites de Guin茅e" with an acute accent on the penultimate "e" of Guin茅e.

compagnie can be said as company (the pronounciation is not accurate but close enough to be understood by french speakers)

des : I would say like "day" but softer (the s is silent)

bauxites (the "es" is silent) : bau like in "go" for the o sound,

xites is like "ksit" : so it's boksit

de : it's like "the" when some americans say it "da"

Guin茅e : it's like "gueenay" but with softer "ay" sound

I am a french native speaker

(Count) born March 28, 1773, Châteauroux, Fr.

French military engineer and general, friend of Napoleon I and his companion in exile, first at Elba (1814–15), then at St. Helena (1815–21). His diary is considered invaluable for its frank account of Napoleon's character and life in exile. It was decoded, annotated, and published by P. Fleuriot de Langle as Cahiers de Sainte-Hélène, 1816–21, 3 vol. (1949–59, “Notebooks from St. Helena”)."

And it was in "shorthand" - see second link.

(1773-1844)

"French soldier and military engineer, one of Napoleon's generals, born in Châteauroux, C France. Aide-de-camp to the emperor from 1804, he shared the emperor's banishment to both Elba and St Helena. After Napoleon's death he returned to France, where he was appointed commandant of the Polytechnic School (1830). His shorthand diary gave a detailed account of Napoleon's life in exile. "

Reply:I don't listen to a lot of french music or anything, but a friend of mine's brother is a french singer and I like his goofy style. Damien Robitaille. He's actually from small town Lafontain in ON but now lives in Quebec.

How do you pronounce this french name?

2010-04-15T03:39:00.001-07:00

Calogero - its a french group and i never knew how to say the name.

How do you pronounce this french name?
Kal-oh-gair-oh is one option.

Kul-oh-gair-oh is another option.

The 'o' at the end of Calogero is emphasized though...do you know what I mean? The French 'o'?

Same with the 'er', you know how the French 'r' is emphasized?

My last name is "French", and I was told it is an Irish last name but also have been told its German. I am very curious to know the history of the people with the last name French. If anyone could help that would be great.

What's an evil sounding feminine French name?

2010-04-15T03:37:00.002-07:00

I'm writing a book and I need names of FRENCH names for GIRLS. The girl in the story has the last name Felix, long black hair, and blazing blue eyes. She is malicious after losing her mother, though in the beginning she still just wasn't a very good person. So I need French names for GIRLS that seem kinda evil, because in the end this girl will basically be one of the antagonist of the story.

What's an evil sounding feminine French name?
Valentine sounds like it could suit that character.

Aur茅lie, Margaux, or Odette might work out too.

If you don't like these suggestions, here are some sites with some great French girl names:

http://french.about.com/library/travel/b...

http://www.babynamesfamily.com/nationali...

http://www.babynamesorigins.com/frenchgi...

I think Corvina could also work, though. It's actually of Latin origin, but it has the meaning Raven and would suit this black-haired character. The name even sounds quite cruel.
Reply:Felix isn't a French name, so, if the girl is to be French, you need a different last name, too. If you want to give her a French-sounding name (rather than a legitimate French name), one that could suggest a malicious girl, you could name her Vyxienne or Malvelle, or something similar. If you want a real French name which will allude to a somewhat malevolent person, you might try Etienne or Bernice or Antoinette. For a surname you might use Du Valle or Rondelle or Devereaux,

Natalia (na-tal-EE-ah)

Genevieve

Clarisse (Clair-EES) (or just Claire)

Amelie (ah-ma-LEE)

Phillipa (Fill-EEP-ah)
Reply:Francine? Does that sound too princessy? I don't know. You could try Agnes or Francoise, very classical, but could be twisted to be evil but feminine.

What is the name of that one French song?

2010-04-15T03:37:00.001-07:00

We were watching French music videos in French class the other day. There is a man and a woman singing. In the music video, there wasn't anybody else and they were singing in the streets and alleys. The instrumentals sound like guitar ensembles from Spain (but they are singing in French) and is upbeat. Part of the chorus is in English and it goes "maybe I was lonely". I know the music video is pretty new because the dvd companies come out with a new compilation every year and feature pretty popular artists.

Reply:No offense, but it is definetly NOT 99 Red Balloons. 99 Red Balloons, including the one that plays with the link Bobby S gave, was originally sung in German, not French.

What is the name of this French film?

2010-04-15T03:37:00.000-07:00

I saw this a few years ago, so I may not be remembering all the details correctly. There's a young girl who is sold, I believe by her father, and forced into the sex industry. She escapes at some point, though I can't remember how. A couple in their car sees her running from one or two men who are beating her. The man refuses to help and his wife is horrified. The wife then later finds the girl and forms a sort of friendship with her. I hope this was all just one movie. Thanks in advance!

Need to know the name of a french spy detective espionage writer?

He's a french writer but his books are in english i heard. also i heard that the crimes the people in his books commited were so good that people in real life commited those crimes and that that they asked him not to reveal all that stuff. I'm sure he's more of a dectective writer. My teacher was talking about him and i forgot to write his name down. i think it starts with the letter "t" --im not really sure. any ideas who this author is?

Reply:The author is Trevanium, One name only.

He writes fiction, but very detailed fiction.

His first 2 books the Loo Sanction and the Eiger sanction described first how to steal paintings from a french museum without being caught, (and somebody followed the steps and succeeded) and the Eiger sanction described how to scale one of the faces of Eiger mountain, and somebody tried and was killed, So in his 3rd book(and his best) Shibumi, Trevanium alludes to how the main character an assassin kills people, but he will not go into details because of what happened in his first two novels.
Reply:There was a man called Georges Simenon who wrote Inspector Maigret mysteries. He was born in Belgium but his detective lives in France. Here's a list of his books http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/geor... and http://www.trussel.com/f_maig.htm

I believe he wrote his stories in the French language, however.

His detective was one of the most famous, and Maigret usually solves crimes by getting to know the nature of the men involved in the crime.

Just a thought...

Trying to find the name of a novel about French revolution?

2010-04-15T03:35:00.001-07:00

Once I read a novel about french revolution. I can't remember the name of either the novel or the author. All I remember is there was portrait called "liberty" (La Libert茅) by Eug猫ne Delacroix on the cover of the book. I can't attach the image of the portrait but you can see it if you do a google image search with the keywords "delacroix eugene liberty".

Thank you.

How do you say 'The name is...' In french?

2010-04-15T03:35:00.000-07:00

I'm just not sure.

Me and my friend are both taking french,

and we both think it's something else.

Help muh out.

Thanks.(:

How do you say 'The name is...' In french?
There are several possible meanings :

1 Le nom est....

2 Ca s'appelle....

3 Il s'appelle

4 elle s'appelle

5 Je m'appelle

the last one in a context similar to a Bond film, when you want to stress the name, like Craig saying "ohh, and the name is Bond"

Hope it helped !
Reply:you can say it like this

"莽a s'appelle..." means it's called.........

like this "le nom est.... " means the name is....

like this "il s'appelle...'' means his name is .....

like this ''elle s'appelle...."means her name is .....

like this "je m'appelle .....'' means my name is ...
Reply:LE NOM EST"

and if you want to say he is its " il s'appelle

or she is "elle s'appelle"

or they (M) are its "ils s'appelles

and they (F) are " elles s'appelles
Reply:Le nom est

Hope this solves your problem! :)
Reply:It could either be

"Le nom est..."

or

"Il s'appelle..." which means "his name is..."
