Ya know, it’s hard to convey a joke sometimes in a blog comment, have to admit, I didn’t pick it up. Let’s try this again….

“French gribenes? Wat do da French know from gribenes? Probably dey cook it in de treyf fat and top it with grated milchik… what do dey call dat in Yiddish… a gratin, nu?”

Better?

Mmmm… no, in French they’re called “bersaudes” – “gribenes” is Yiddish, literally meaning “scraps”.
