If you think about it hard enough, "right down my alley" sounds pretty gay. It just depends on which....... never mind.  :-X

       i will have to say this is one of the funniest threads ive seen since, the animals...i have been on here and laughing and

being so,,,until i just lost track of time...to me one of the gayest foods ive ever seen or heard of is pettit fours.....even the

name sounds gay....to me all these terms,,dont mean gay as in homosexual, but gay as in silly.......

Ah, Petit Fours!

Petit fours--"small ovens"--were a way for pâtissiers to use up leftovers while the ovens cooled down at the end of the day's bake.

While petit four can refer to any bite-sized sweet presented at the end of a meal, they're usually tiny, beautifully iced cakes. Petit fours are traditionally made with an almond sponge cake, or joconde, but they can be any flavor of cake--and filling--you choose.

With a seemingly infinite variety of shapes, flavors and decoration, you can dress these little cakes up for a tea party, a bridal shower, or an elegant luncheon. A tray full of delectable and beautiful petit fours turns any event into an extraordinary occasion.

Speaking of petit fours, that reminds me, on a couple of episodes of As Time Goes By there have been references to something, apparently British, called. ...

Fairy cakes.

(I'm not making that up. I have no idea what they might be.)

Oh, yeah, and how about anything "julienne"? Fries, veggies, whatever?

heheheheh.

There basically just little individual sized sponge cakes with a little icing on top.

They often have another little bit of fairy cake on the top of the icing that look.. I suppose  like a pair of wings.



You would call them cupcakes I believe.

How would "vol-au-vents"  or "savarins" or "vacherins" classify? It seems as if most French cuisine foods (just like quiches) naturally tend to be categorized as gay items, probably because of their implicit aura of sophistication or simply because their name sounds exotic, and French sounds - by common perception - more a "feminine" than a "masculine" language. Am I going too far...??
