Well, nothing surprises one about the French :-)) OTOH you/they have pain
(au?) chocolat-- bread and butter with choc. sprinkles. Completely unheard
of in the US. (Oddly, chocolate sprinkles were included in "western" style
breakfasts in Indonesia, so I suppose they got that from the Dutch.)

Oddly, again, in Indonesia I was amazed to discover two or three brands of
PB (called of course pindakas, Du. pindakaas), and very good they were. I
think it is actually used in some curries.
>Not all people have bad taste you know. ;)))))))
Then there are the _Secret Peanut Butter Eaters_-- who pooh-pooh and disdain
the stuff in public but.... I once had such a person for a room-mate: it
seemed that every time I got a midnight PB urge, the jar would be
mysteriously empty.
