... Or such was the title to a popular book about gender stances, a while back. Well, I beg to differ on this one. Real men and unreal men DO eat quiche and even cook them!!! I just had to make one this luchtime as the place was cold and miserable and wet (outside) but it's cold inside too now so I wanted the oven on. Nothing ready for lunch, so a quick look around the fridge and there are all the ingredients to make a warm, gorgeous-smelling and appetizing
Wish my Marshlander had been here to sample it with me. It did its comfort food trick of feeding me at lunchtime. Hahaha.
What the title really meant, in those days, was that QUICHE sounded too finicky and too subtly French, when in fact it's rather good hearty food (and carriable for picnics and packed lunches)... so what's unmasculine about that, eh?
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet", the great bard said.
QUICHE!
I hope some of you like it too and don't feel threatened in their masculinity. (By the way, it's a traditional dish from Lorraine and is pronounced KEESH)Wish my Marshlander had been here to sample it with me. It did its comfort food trick of feeding me at lunchtime. Hahaha.
