Crème Brûlée

My French may not be stellar - but I CAN prononce crème correctly; as in Crème Brûlée. It is not "cream bruuleee". A semi-uppity woman continually corrected my english this evening. She thought she was doing me a service. She was right, I was wrong. Fine. But then, she corrects my "Crème Brûlée" with cream bruuleee. Evidently, I am not fit to speak any language. Argh. Perhaps I should resort to telepathic communication.

So I'm getting caught up on this lovely blog of yours my dear, and i fall upon this insanity! How dare she correct you in that self righteous way? Especially when that self was wrong. Creme brulee is not like the French word "croissant" where an english pronounciation of "crisont" is perfectly acceptable. You only pronounce creme brulee the French way. Honestly, she's just plain stupid. Et elle est egoist aussi!
