    Better question: What is your favourite colour?

    Btw Crème brûlée means "burnt cream" in French - and I've seen French speakers just rofl themselves silly when they see that word as it really appears NOT appetising at all. The origin of this term comes from an English translation of a French cookbook and other sources claim that it originated from Britain - which seems more likely to me. If it did come from France there's no way they would give it a name as ridiculous as "burnt cream" (as logical as it may sound it's just not appealing to a Francophone ear).

    Was just taking a trip down memory lane and had to comment on this Gok.
    It's like Chicken Caccitorie (that is not spelled right but I think you know what I mean) Caccitorie means hunter in Italian so Chicken Cacitorie translates as 'Chicken Hunter' yummy

    I know that one. When I used to work for my Dad on his tuna boat he would get excited when the moon was "red" (I used " because I don't think it's really a red colour that the moon turns). The old Italians used to call it Da Luna Caccitorie or something like that. Basically it translates to "The Hunter's Moon" as the red means blood.

    I used LOL at my dad so much. I've never seen someone who can be such a realist and practically minded person be so superstitious

    "Cacciatore." It's called that because it's prepared "alla cacciatore" (hunter style).
