French eGullet?

[Busboy]

I was googling choucroutte recipes and stumbled across Forum SuperToinette. This was about the time eGullet made the change-over, and it made me wonder if the Powers That Be had been trying to improve eGullet's finances by selling "used" formats abroad.

("Have we got a deal for you. Only driven during working hourse by a small assortment of gormands and malcontents. Bien sur, une bonne marche.")

Even if you don't speak French, it's worth clicking a little deeper into the site, to see the similarities and differences between the two. Note that the little description of posters includes "sexe", one assumes so that on-line flirting can begin without any confusion caused by the "noms de forum"; and that members are given ratings including "genial," and "habitue," "hyper-actif."

Also, they have seasonal decorations on their site.

Okay, that's just fucking hilarious. They even have a BBQ forum, complete with coleslaw recipe. Love this petit nugget:

Aux Etats-Unis on la sert presque systématiquement avec des viandes grillées. C'est délicieux à cause de l'alliance du croquant des crudités et de la sauce moelleuse.

Mais, oui. Il faut bien deconstruire l'alliance entre les crudités et la sauce. :sniff:

I like that they have an entire forum dedicated to sauces. Tres Français...

And I'm a little jealous that I can't be a "Membre Mega Génial"...

Didn't you know, eGullet is french. We've been pronouncing it "eh-goolay" for years.

So do I. Why don't we have that?

Hey, sign me up - I'm moving to sauces at ADPA next week.
