Crapaud dans son trou. (recette de sorcière).

Reminds me of a humourous etching by Graham Clarke "Crapaud en trou" (I have a copy at home). Lovely to spot all the extra details in the picture.

Re: Food translations

Loved that Brian. So it's not only a recipe, but a restaurant! There are a couple who have been banished to a trou on the roof.

There are also a couple of spelling mistakes, can you spot them?

Bulle et couic

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Re: Food translations

I love dumplings, but I call them les quenelles anglaise or un genre de quenelles a l'anglaise. I agree that they can be degueulas, they can be heavy and horrible. I like mine light and fluffy inside and crunchy tops, baked in the oven on some braised steak or mince and onion.

I love spotted dick too with custard.
