This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No idea what a French press is. Probably a cafetière ?

Who the hell calls it a French press, I've never heard anyone call it that.

I never knew there was a different name for it. The cafetière is a new one on me, and I did French in high school. Guess we weren't talking about coffee much, though apparently french fries came up enough for me to remember pommes frites (they probably don't fry apples much over there).

Pommes de terre frites or patates frites

Most commonly, yes, just frites. Was just saying that pommes frites wasn't exactly right
