[edit] Le Boef

A little off topic, but...

Back in the '70s i dated a girl from Normandy (I'm English). And man she really did have some roast beef flaps on her 'gina. There I was occasionally referred to, in a freindly way, as Le Boef (the Bull(?)) by her freinds. She said this was the French equivalent to 'the Frog', which of course is not always considered so freindly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bryn494 (talk • contribs) 15:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC).

Actually they were calling you the "beef", bull is "un taureau". Speaking of which, is there really a need for a citation for "Les Rosbifs". It's very widely known, to the extent that the BBC will use it without explanation in the assumption that everyone else will understand: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4654137.stm --82.45.213.168 21:55, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shape

I think this is important, very thinly sliced roast beef on a roll is a very different meal from a big slab of roast beef on a plate, all flaky and dry.

[edit] Frogs

I thought the frogs were known as such because of the green uniform of the French army in a past century. 80.0.101.168 (talk) 15:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
