French culinary terms just sound much better and are more clear in English. Also i was told by my cookery tutor that French is still used because it means that when working in kitchens internationally you still have a lingua franca (so to speak). This might not be true but it feels plausible to me.
"crème anglaise" reminds me of an expensive small desert
"english cream" reminds me of “cum LOL!!!! xD” because i’ve been 13 years old for over a decade
this is a betrayal of the Nevermind The Buzzcocks bit where Noel Fielding said "the French don't think custard exists, you know. They call it cremm onglaze"
Don't even mention how the La Croix company says it's pronounced "la Croy" NO ITS NOT ITS A REAL WORD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
it's also a proper name and sometimes those are pronounced differently sorry to break it to you
"here's my chip company spelled "Shit-flakes" but pronounced "Yummy". It's a proper name!"
As with many culinary things I'm going to chalk this up to blindly adhering to Escoffier.
