My absent mindedness strikes again. I grabbed these dog treats thinking they were just rawhide. I did not look closely. This was at my Home Depot like store, Gamm Vert. When I went to check out, the cashier started looking at the package closely....and when she did, I thought I was seeing feathers...she said no, Lapin ears...rabbit. She was facinated by it. All the people behind me started talking about it...I think they detected my horror...She read off, beef ear, pig ear and rabbit ear. I said...oh, not lapin! I admitted that I am not french and don't eat rabbit...Mon Dieu! She said, oh, you don't eat meat...I said no, just lapin...I can't eat lapin (I didn't tell them I don't eat veal or tripe either or sardines but I do eat escargot.)...but I know my doggie will be happy. I left with them all tittering amongst themselves. It was not an example of french snobbery, it was an example of the french accepting me and are curious about me...There is NO WAY i'm giving Rune those rabbit ears.
I like the word Friandises...pieces of things.
