Last night I made Coq Au Vin. I am tempted to tell you this was predicated solely upon the fact that it contains a homonym for "cock," but that would only be partially true. It is also delicious and, though the information on Wikipedia has some blatant falsehoods about the traditional dish, a pillar of typical French cuisine. Which, I would like

You need to feed me, really.

I'm sorry to inform you, 'coq' is pronounced kind of like 'coke,' not 'cock.' So the words blur into something like: cocoa-vah[n] (that 'n' being a nasal tone, not actually pronounced). Woe, I know. Still, that they're sorta homographic is an excellent reason to try cooking it. (Because it's French or because it's delicious are other, equally acceptable reasons.)

But now I want hot cocoa. With cinnamon and whipped cream, really the only way to drink it. Damn you.

Oh, I'm quite aware of the proper pronunciation of Coq Au Vin. Well, proper in that I tend to be accented heavily to the rural south of France, which the Parisiennes would probably laugh me out of the country for. Regardless, I was having a little private joke wondering how many people pronounce it cockowvin.

Also, "feed me" and "whipped cream" in the same post? Come now, you're making my job at innuendo far too easy.
