jokes/puns=blagues/jeux de mots
1. Why are French omelettes made with only one egg?
2. Why do French people eat snails?
(Answers to be discussed in class)
These, like most jokes about an entire country, rely on word play and stereotypes - please be aware of this. As you consider the answers, think: what stereotypes do you have of the French? Where do these stereotypes come from? What stereotypes do you think other countries have of the U.S.?
If you figure the answers out quickly, please try to come up with your own food joke, using your list of French food vocabulary. Feel free to draw a picture to illustrate it! Be warned: avoid puns or jokes using french fries and french toast. I would like you to use the French words - not items in English that are made to sound French!
