Lost in Translation Eighty Six

February 25, 2013

Having discovered a new restaurant in the village and having eaten well of Quail (Caille in French) the chef came out of the kitchen to talk to us as we left.
“La Caille” said Jacinta “etait trés bon” and then from the depths of a twisted mind I managed my second pun in French. “L’accueil etait aussi tre chaleureuse ” for which I actually got a little laugh.

For non- French speakers here is a little note.
Jacinta said; “The Quail was very good ”
I said “The welcome was also very warm”

“La Caille” and ” l’acueil” are pronounced in axactly the same way.
