It's actually just one guy without any friends in the real world and
many aliases on the internets arguing and agreeing with himself.
As long as they do it from the privacy of their basement apartments
and don't go out in the real world to harm children or squirrels, I'm
OK with it.

A cross between duck and lamb? Sounds good to me.
Funny, you always hear about getting a room. You can't get a room in rbr,
there is only one room really. In other forums sometimes, moderators would
boot the obsessers out to a room indeed, where you would find the other
accomplices.
poor Laff.
I had the best duck when I was in France... lamb kabobs were pretty darned
good too!

I'll have the squirrel pasty with sausage and bacon,

Chocolate pasty presumably if rbr bad taste standards are to be upheld.
This is as close as I could come:

Really more mocha, though.

Does it matter? It was good, and if it was Squirrel, it was darned good
Squirrel. When I go to France, I typically order the Plat du Jour anyway,
often having no idea what it might be ahead of time. I did have to modify
that this trip though, because far too many plat du jours seemed to be 1/4
poulet. How imaginative.
I have yet to understand the fascination with entricote (rumpsteak).

Dumbass,
When I got the andouillette, as I was eating it my kid
entered it into the translator. She showed it to my wife,
and then they both started laughing.

Lafferty,
Even for your usual imperviousness to irony,
this is a bit rich. Where would you be without us?
No one else pays you the slightest attention.
You don't want a discussion, as is evident from
your one-liner responses to posts (ROFL, "Thanks
for sharing," etc). You just want people to agree
with you.
If you think the treatment here is unbefitting your
august self, take your act to cyclingforums (does that
place still exist?) or the CN forums, etc. The actual
LANCE fanboys will show you what true hostility is.

There you are incorrect. Watch what happens when
somebody agrees with Lafferty. Try agreeing
with him. Naturally it would be where you
actually agree. See what happens.

Unlike rbr ersatz hostility. You make a good point.
Time to get going on some nukular hostility. Buncha slackers.

Entrecôte is rib steak.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks. And it's supposed to be a premium cut,
but every time I've had it it's been anything but.
In France I always liked the stringier steaks like bavette (part of the flank,
but I'm not sure how it's cut) and onglet (hanger steak). I agree that the
entrecôte is usually not as tender as a rib eye in the US. I think that part
of the reason is that they don't feed cattle as much grain as we do, so the
meat has less marbling. And because of this, the steaks really have to be
left pretty rare ("saignant", or, at most, "à point"), or they get tough.
People who like beef well-done or even medium are usually unhappy with the
steaks in France.

Entrecôte tastes good.
You wouldn't recognize a fact based discussion if it reared up and bit
you on the nuts.

Meat is butchered slightly differently in France than in the US so it's
not common to find an onglet unless you go to an old-fashioned butcher shop.

That's part of it. Two other parts are: French beef is butchered at an
older age than the US, and the breeds are different. Basically, the
American beef market is dominated by breeds that are selected for their
flesh while a substantial portion of the French beef market is comprised
of steers "diverted" from dairy breeds. They can be tasty but, as you
noted, they do need to be cooked differently.

Maybe he would. We should chip in and buy
a ravening pack of fact based discussions.

Perhaps they've got some for sale at the chess newsgroup.
What, no HGH or EPO ?
