(Photo from Wikipedia)What would you call this sandwich? Clearly, it's a croque monsieur, but I'm interested in what you would call it. Apparently, referring to the sandwich by its proper title makes me "elitist" and "pretentious." Earlier this week, discussing what we would cook for the Care & Connect lunch on Saturday, I tossed out the idea of making croque monsiers. (We settled instead of amazing- or shall I say, stupendous,- beef stew.) Katy and Nicole have not stopped giving me grief since. Apparently some Canadians don't know what they are. And many Americans as well. I'm sorry that I grew up in a public school system where we learned to call sandwiches by their proper titles.
Katy: That's not even a real croque monsieur, those things are dipped in egg batter and fried-
Moi: No, that's a Monte Cristo.
Nicole: Oh, a Monte Cristo sandwich, is it?
When did it become a crime to call sandwiches by their God given names?
