We have in Germany some special problems with English words, as we have very similar words with different meaning. So we are always in danger to use them wrong. Which makes funny mistakes. Your tea cup is so dainty and sweet. Looks Japanese to me, is it? Thank you for sharing your wonderful tea time with gorgeous sweets.<br />Best greetings, JohannaJohanna Gehrleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027107843903985667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-75245082705497129332011-06-21T14:40:09.418+09:002011-06-21T14:40:09.418+09:00How lovely to meet another blogger from Japan.

Some of those who bake know "choux pastry" (for the kind of pastry dough that cream puffs are made of). Some know another French word, "profiterole." That's for small cream puffs. We sometimes use that word here.<br /><br />For some reason, Mont Blancs are almost never seen in American bakeries. I don't know why. I have only seen them in Japanese bakeries here. (When I look on Wikipedia, it says "The Mont Blanc is popular in France, Italy, China, Japan, and Hungary." How sad for us...)<br /><br />And speaking of chestnuts, one common Japanese word for chestnut is another loanword from French--marron, right? :)<br /><br />Anyway, your tea time looks wonderful. :) As for your coffee jelly, I think it's actually what we would call a trifle! It looks like a layer of cake, a layer of cream, and a layer of coffee jelly. That kind of layered dessert is often called a parfait or trifle. ("Parfait" is not used as much in the US to describe an ice-cream-based dessert like in Japan; that's usually called a "sundae." "Parfait" is used more for layered things with yogurt or cream.)Clarissa at Readable Bloghttp://www.readableblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-4961565298276674162011-06-21T01:50:45.985+09:002011-06-21T01:50:45.985+09:00Cute post orchid and it all looks delicious too !
