Aren't Europeans famous for eating sandwiches with a knife and fork?
If that is the case (or maybe it's "was" now), then a sandwich "cake"
would seem reasonable. IMO, it's no more odd than those so called
cheesecakes people serve as an appetizer and it's certainly prettier.

Did you mispell "infamous?"
If so, they're all a bunch of damn weirdos! WTH?
Their european table manners highly annoy me too...the knife in left hand
cutting and scooping. the fork put in mouth upside down -Used as a spear,
and not for scooping food into their arrogant mouths.

Just the culinary nonsense of europeans is why people came to america long
ago...to get away from all that stupid annoying stuff.

G.

sf knows I tease, I hope all you non-americans realize that too.
As usual though, I tease with a bit of real feelings.
That upside down fork eating thing really does bother me.

Didn't we have this conversation a few months ago? The Europeans
think we're weird for the doing the knife and fork switcheroo when we
cut meat.
