The French eat Mice? Quiz
Having coffee in my local bistro this morning and overheard the chef discussing the plat du jour.
In English: "Mouse in a red wine sauce"
What is he actually preparing if not mice?

Do you remember that video of Americans who brought their own food because the British eat chipmunks and "squirls"?
Perhaps they had a point

In my neighborhood, there is a season when there are dozens of African women -- one or two on every street corner. They have big burlap bags, and they chant "Mice mice mice!"
At least that's what it sounds like with their African accents because they are actually saying "Maïs maïs maïs" and selling grilled corn on the cob.
